Switchfoot Concert! (6/24)

Switchfoot is playing at the San Diego County fair this Thursday, June 24th at 7:30pm! YAG talked about doing a couple of music watching outings as a group so if you are interested in heading up to see Switchfoot please indicate your interest in this form. Depending on how many people want to come we can try to arrange rides or perhaps bus up on the 101. Whatever is most convenient for everyone. The concert is free with paid admission to the fair ($13) so head up for fancy fried foods, great music, and great company! Hope to see you there!

Second Sunday Supper Recap (6/20)

The topic for discussion for the Second Sunday Supper on 6/20 was Saint Joseph.  Because it was Father's Day, we spent some time talking about Joseph's call to become one of the guardian's of God's greatest gift to us.  While not the paternal father of Jesus, Joseph was given the enormous responsibility of raising him and teaching him useful skills (such as the manual labor of carpentry).  It was not by chance that this was the environment chosen for Jesus to experience as an adolescent. 

We remember the enormous calls our own father's, or father-like figures, undertook when they took the responsibility to care for us throughout our young lives and into adulthood.  We took the time to remember what we remember most about our father's and how they have impacted our lives.

To learn more about Saint Joseph's call, read the material reviewed for this discussion at the following link.

Second Sunday Supper (6/20)

We are having Second Sunday Supper on the Third Sunday this month (because we are non-conformists) after 5:30PM Mass in Roetter Hall.

Jeff Tippman will lead a discussion on Saint Joseph and Fatherhood (since it's Father's Day) following catered dinner from Punjabi Tandoor (suggested donation $7).

Please RSVP by filling out this form.

Thank you Jeff for leading the discussion. SSS happens every month because one of us (Young Adults) is inspired to speak about a topic that is important to them. If you have a favorite saint or topic and would like to share it with your community, please let us know.

Third Tuesday Taize on the Sand (6/15)

Third Tuesday Taize, same time, 7pm on the third Tuesday (June 15) but this time there are 2 changes:

1) The location will be La Jolla Shores Beach - the same spot as last fall, and near where the welcome event was last fall. Park in the La Jolla Shores Beach parking lot at the very right-hand side (as you face the beach), by the showers. Walk straight toward the beach 50 feet. You will see us!

2) It will be BEFORE Second Sunday Supper this month!

Come and join in melodic reflection and prayer! Pray for your favorite soccer team! Or anything else...

YAG Beach Camping Trip (7/16-7/17)

Do you like suntanning, swimming, surfing, sleeping, smores or sand castles? In celebration of our SoCal roots, the YAGS group will be doing all of the above. We're organizing a beach camping trip this summer. It's Friday-Saturday July 16-17 (Friday night only) at San Onofre State Beach- north of Oceanside. We have 16 spots available. Let me know if you're in and I will reserve you a place. I will send an email out later in the month with more details, but costs will be about $10 total for camping and food.
