In their pastoral plan for young adults, Sons and Daughters of the Light, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops said, "We join the Holy Father in affirming the essential dignity of young adult men and women--those in their late teens, twenties, and thirties--as 'sons and daughters of the light'. Yet, many young adults tell us that they face increasingly complex and difficult times and that they need the help of the Catholic Christian community to be this light". Credo was formed in response to this observation. Recognizing the great need for young adult ministry that goes beyond social events, Credo was established to provide an opportunity for young adults to be formed in their faith through catechesis and prayer, to be surrounded by a community of believers, to be rooted in the sacramental life, and to find in Christ the direction and support they need in such a transitional time of life.
In his message for the 26th World Youth Day, Pope Benedict XVI spoke to young adults saying, “You are constantly being offered easier choices, but you yourselves know that these are ultimately deceptive and cannot bring you serenity and joy. Only the word of God can show us the authentic way, and only the faith we have received is the light which shines on our path”. Credo a ministry committed to forming young adults in the faith by creating a community in which to worship, to seek truth, to come to greater knowledge of the faith, and to find the joy only found in Christ.
