During Phase 2 (2022-2026), the Saint Meinrad Young Adult Initiative is partnering with five returning parishes from Phase 1 as well as five sister parishes. Each Phase 1 parish chose a sister parish to join the initiative, and they will serve as a mentor throughout the process.

The Phase 1 parishes were originally selected from 96 applications to the project.
