With the concerns and recent news relating to COVID-19, and after reading the directions and guidance from the Archdiocese of Chicago (for the press release go here), we have decided to cancel all events for the week of 3/16-3/22. We are offering other options. Go check out our Calendar to see. Also check out our Virtual Resources for Daily Mass, Daily Readings, and other sources to feed your hunger for your faith.

YAM-NW serves the 30 parishes of Vicariate 1, Deaneries DEF. We are a young adult group of 18-39 year-olds who share a love of God and of community. We work to minister to the different aspects of the Catholic Young Adult - Spiritual, Service, and Social. 

We offer a variety of events designed to meet Young Adults' spiritual needs. Throughout the year, we have Bible Studies, Speaker Sessions, Retreats, and other events. So if you are looking for a group to walk with as you seek to get closer to God, join us at any of our events!

YAM-NW answers the call to serve and to #WorktheWorks. We volunteer regularly with different charities and organizations, like Feed My Starving Children, Little Sisters of the Poor, Phil's Friends, PADS,  and Catholic Charities (and more!). 

While we are a ministry (and not a social group, YAM-NW strives to create a Young Adult Community where Young Adults feel welcomed and a part of the group. We regularly have social outings and events that appeal to a variety of interests. So please, join us - we're pretty fun =)
