Are there people around who share my values?
St. John
Berchmans
(1599 - 1621)
As a young
student, John was eager to learn and naturally endowed with a bright
intellect and a retentive memory, devoting much time to study.
What
distinguished him most from his companions, however, was his piety and
faith. John performed
ordinary actions with extraordinary perfection, purity, obedience and
admirable charity.
Fourteen
years after he was canonized a saint, the Jesuit community in Shreveport
established, in 1902, our parish and a high school (now Loyola College
Prep) and had the church consecrated in memory of their newly canonized
saint, St. John Berchmans.
He is the
patron saint of altar servers and an ideal patron for students who
are eager to learn & deepen their faith.
A young adult when he died, St. John Berchmans makes a fine patron for YAM.

All
Catholics in your 20s & 30s
single or married
Mark your calendars:

Faithful to the Magisterium of the Church, our mission is to bring together young adults integrating social, service, and spiritual aspects of our journey together in the Catholic faith.
YAM offers some alternatives to what is experienced in our culture.
We try to respond to questions like these:
-
-
The bars are good, but is there anything else?
-
How do you meet good people once you've moved here?
-
What does it mean to be a person of faith today?
-
Is there any decent worship around?
-
Where can I give some of my time or talent?
YAM
is meant to reach Catholics in their 20s and 30s… to offer busy people
of faith a time and place for fellowship, for prayer (you don’t have to
plan a thing!), to eat and drink (you don’t have to bring any food), and
talk candidly about faith, church, and real life (you don’t have to
prepare any lesson plans or make any handouts!).
Singles
and married couples can gather with others who love the Church, and spend
an evening with three of God’s best gifts: prayer, food, and
conversation.
We will talk about outreach opportunities (putting our faith into
action).
And with the newly renovated gym here, we may even have to hit the
volleyball around a little.
