This article examines the pastoral challenges faced by Catholic Emerging Adults (CEAs) navigating what Charles Taylor describes as the “Age of Authenticity,” characterised by the proliferation of competing frameworks of meaning and the tension between immanent and transcendent understandings of human fulfilment. The article investigates how two particular dynamics of late modernity - nostalgia and the search for identity - can become obstacles to faith formation and ecclesial belonging. The article proposes “Sacramental Accompaniment” as a pastoral response to these challenges. It argues that accompaniment, grounded in the sacramental imagination and the ecclesial understanding of baptismal identity, enables CEAs to navigate contemporary conditions of belief by fostering encounters with Christ within the life of the Church. The central thesis contends that sacramental accompaniment addresses the underlying desires for transcendence and belonging that animate both radical traditionalism and expressive individualism, reorienting them toward a received identity in Christ. The article’s original contribution lies in its integration of Taylor’s sociological analysis with Pope Francis’ theology of accompaniment and a sacramental anthropology, offering a practical pastoral framework for ministry with CEAs. Methodologically, the study employs interdisciplinary theological reflection, engaging sociological analysis, ecclesial documents, and pastoral case examples.
