AWAKEN PROGRAM
The Young Adult Ministry Office is sponsoring a program called AWAKEN, a 40 days of Lent online project, for enhancing your observance of this holy season. For the 40 days of Lent, we are offering you the opportunity to participate in daily reflection and dialogue with your peers. Each day of Lent we have asked young adults, various ministers, professors and others to write a short reflection on the Gospel of the Day and to offer a few questions for further thought. It is our hope that these reflections and questions on Awaken will become a part of your daily prayer this Lent. As a participant, you will be able to engage with your peers and access this reflection material through a hosted blog on the Young Adult Ministry website: http://www.yamchicago.org/awaken/.

Young Adult Ministry hosts "The Light Show" every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 9 am in the morning on Radio 950 AM. Hosts Fr. John Cusick and Dr. Kate DeVries discuss a variety of topics relating to the connection between faith and life for young adults .

The St. Tarcissus Youth Group consists of high school age people of the parish. Our mission is to provide our youth with a connection to the parish, a chance to get together, participate in different activities, offer an opportunity to volunteer their talents and develop their Catholic identity.
The group gets together several times a month. Activities include open gyms and drop-ins - where members play ping-pong, pool and other games. Other endeavors include trips to Great America, Magic Waters, Gurnee Mills, skiing and ice-skating.
Members of the Youth Group also help out at various parish events. Some members serve the parish as Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors and Choir Members. The Youth Group has a monthly Youth Mass and regularly volunteers at a Soup Kitchen. |
