Have local communities plan how to be welcoming. A brother s community made a conscious effort to get in touch with young adults on campus where they teach. They reconfigured a house to make it easy for young adults to come and visit. They offer regular pizza parties. They also invite young men to prayer times.
Students are then comfortable and socially involved with brothers.
Invite young adults to prayer and meals at local houses. Attend gatherings of young adults in parishes, malls, classes, high schools, colleges, etc. Get to know the young people and allow them to get to know you. It s important to get to know them and their interests. Be consistent in your presence with these young adults.
