Our YAM Board will be present at this event to help answer any questions you might have and take down your suggestions for future events in a Town Hall setting.

Plus learn how to get involved in our small groups and Spiritual, Social, Service and Intellectual pillars.

We will provide free soda, water, beer and wine along with having some snacks!

We look forward to seeing you at our event! Whether you're a YAM regular or newcomer, all are welcome!

Intellectual

Spirituality & Spirits

Tuesday, Jan. 24 | 6:30pm

Join us on Tuesday, January 24th for drinks and a talk where Sr. Jess Lambert will help us dive into the profound intimacy that the Lord desires for us in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. It is an intimacy that can only be experienced when we let down our masks and walls such that Jesus in the Eucharist can truly speak to us and we can truly encounter Him.
