Mass & DinnerOne of our most popular events is our second and fourth Sunday Mass and dinner. We attend 6pm Mass at St John's, followed by a themed dinner in the parish center or an outing to a local spot. Needless to say, please do join us for Mass even if you cannot make the dinner and vice versa!
Themed dinners are cooked by a dedicated team of volunteers drawn from our young adult community. Past themes have included Mediterranean, Indian, Oktoberfest, Thanksgiving, and Breakfast for Dinner! If you would like to contribute a dish or help with setup, please email contact@jacksyacs.com. We´d love to have more helpers! |

Community and Prayer NightOur community night is held on Thursdays from 7:30-9:30pm. The format varies, but we have Eucharistic Adoration, guest speakers, a Bible study, or a social.
All of our events are followed by a social outing to a local spot within walking distance of the Parish Center. We hope you can join us! |
Prayer TeamThe Young Adult Community at St. Johns believes in the power of prayer. Prayer is a significant aspect of our growing relationship with Jesus. We are committed to praying individually, in small groups, and as a Young Adult Community.
We have a dedicated Prayer Team that is praying for the intentions of the YAC ministry everyday! Please feel free to send us your intentions - either deposit them in our box of intentions (which will be available at our events) or send them to us using the "Contact Us" form. We will be very happy to pray for you. If you would like to join the Prayer Team, please get in touch with us (youngadultprayerteam@gmail.com). |
