YCP Houston

How do we faithfully steward the many vocations God has entrusted to us?

Topic: “Called As One: Harmonizing Marriage, Career, and Spiritual Life Through Virtuous Stewardship”

Our panelists shared how they strive to integrate these callings through intentional living, prayer, and virtue in their marriage. Whether you’re discerning marriage, navigating career growth, or seeking greater balance in your spiritual life, this conversation offered practical wisdom and encouragement for the journey.

The road to holiness isn’t found in choosing one vocation over another, it is found in faithfully stewarding all that God has entrusted to us.

Thank you to YCP Houston’s board members for such an engaging panel discussion this month! We enjoyed seeing you all there. 🫶🏻

Congratulations to our President, Yarlin Paz, for being nominated chapter leader of the month!! ✨

“What makes Yarlin truly special is her heart for collaboration, she has been intentional about partnering with other Catholic organizations in the area, deepening YCP Houston’s roots in the local Church and beyond. Houston is lucky to have her, and we are so grateful for everything she brings to this mission.”

Her efforts along with the team’s passion are what make YCP Houston the best!

The road to professional and personal growth can feel a lot like the Road to Emmaus. As the disciples walked, confused and uncertain, Christ met them where they were, listened to them, and guided them forward.

In our own careers, God often works through mentors, colleagues, friends, and leaders who accompany us along the way, offering wisdom, encouragement, and perspective when we need it most.

Who has walked alongside you in your journey? Take a moment to thank those who have helped shape your path, and consider how you can accompany someone else today. YCP Houston thanks Randy Mill for the wisdom he shared with us.

The road to sainthood is not always easy but always worth it! The 2026 YCP conference was a reminder that holiness is possible even in the middle of the modern world and it is not meant to be lived alone.

This year’s conference was a place where faith and professional life came together through meaningful conversations, mentorship, prayer, AND authentic community. YCP empowers us all to live boldly for Christ through your careers, relationships, and daily lives.

Join a community striving not just for success but for sanctity. 🙏🏼

Young Catholic Professionals Houston invites you to our next Executive Speaker Series, “Accompaniment – A Journey with Christ,” featuring Randy Mill on Wednesday, May 27 at 6:00 PM at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. Randy is a Senior Project Manager and Business Opportunity Manager with more than 20 years at Shell, where he has supported multiple business lines including Chemicals, LNG, Refining, and Carbon Capture while building and leading high-performing teams with an entrepreneurial mindset.

A lifelong Catholic, Randy will share how his personal faith journey has been deeply intertwined with the arc of his career and why accompanying faith and work is essential. Through stories of the highs and lows of professional life, he will reflect on how Christ has strengthened and guided him along the way — and how we can become more aware of God’s presence in our own journeys.

Work is life's greatest therapy. What does that mean? Last week, more than 150 young Catholic professionals gathered to listen to Mattress Mack speak on how work has provided a greater purpose in his life on many occasions. He gave insight to his business, triumph of mental illness in his family, and the importance of human dignity in a culture of death. Mr. Mack found his passion in helping his community, one of which he is a pillar, and encourages us to find our niche to give back to our neighbor. We have the personal responsibility to say "Yes" to life in all that we do, with dignity!

Thank you to our sponsors for helping make this Executive Speaker Series happen! We hope to see you all again in our upcoming events... more details to follow!
