Our History
Young and Chosen for Christ (YCCCI) was founded in 2011 by a group of passionate young Catholics who desired a vibrant faith community for their peers. What began as a small prayer group meeting in a parish hall has grown into a thriving organization touching hundreds of lives across the region.
Over the past 15 years, YCCCI has expanded its reach through retreats, missionary work, community service, and spiritual formation programs. Our journey has been marked by God's abundant grace and the faithful dedication of our members.
