"People say I'm strange. Does it make me a stranger that my best friend was born in a manger?" ~DC Talk

St. James Young Adult is a group of individuals in their 20's, 30's and 40's with weekly faith sharing and monthly social gathering.  Contact Wendy Cobb at wendycobb@cox.net or 572-6899

Members of the "Circle of Friends" group meet together for a faith-sharing group for parish members between the ages of 20 - 40.  Our goal is to foster discussions about our faith and discover ways to inject faith into our everyday lives.  Wednesday nights  from 7:30 - 9 pm at Greg and Jenny Morrison's home at 13411 Sahler St.  We will be going over the Mass readings for the upcoming Sunday and figure out how they fit into our lives.  No materials are required.  You can bring your own Bible if you like, but they will have plenty of copies of the readings.    Contact Greg Morrison at gregm@wholesaleheating.com, or 963-9954 for information or if you have input for the group.

Catholic Campus Ministry Center at UNO - the center is at 6901 Dodge St., Suite 200.  Tuesday night meetings.  Regular activities at UNO include Tuesday Rosary group, Tuesday Bible Study, Wednesday Mass and Free Lunch.  For more information be sure to call UNO.
