YM Coffee Talk: Join us on the first Monday of each month, 5-6:30* at the Starbucks at the Radisson at Star Plaza, just west of I-65 along US 30, Merrillville. We'll chat, pray together, share thoughts and feelings about our ministry, and the first round of beverages in on Kev! Feel supported in your ministry. No RSVP necessary.  *note new time starting in Feb.

 
After prayerful dialogue and discernment, the Office for Youth & Young Adults has decided to no longer offer ReConnect as a monthly diocesan program.

We are thankful for the participants, clergy, and other leaders that worked to make ReConnect happen in its brief but successful run as a diocesan program.

If you are a parish, cluster, or school leader that likes the concept of ReConnect, and would like to offer it as a parish, local or regional program, you may do so! ReConnect is inexpensive, fairly easy to organize, and gives young people the right blend of Spirituality and fellowship.

Contact Kevin Driscoll, Diocese of Gary Office for Youth & Young Adults to talk about how to bring ReConenct to your community. Available to you: outline and suggestions for implementation, logos, and all rights to the program.
