UCYM News & Updates

The place for the latest news about what's happening with UCYM!

An unexpected joy...

3/21/2021

 
What an incredibly powerful experience this morning at St. Nicholas Parish as, due to unforeseen circumstances, Sister Christina Fuller, OSF led a Communion Service at our regular 10:15 am Mass time with our own Sam Carlson proclaiming the Gospel and preaching. We continue to keep our RCIA candidates and catechumens in prayer as they prepare for the Easter sacraments. We thank Sam for shepherding them. See the service: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIHuChsL3xo&ab_channel=St.NicholasChurch%2CEvanston​

ucym leadership signs statement in support of bishops

The staff of United Catholic Youth Ministries takes a strong stance on leading ministry for youth, young adults, and families in a way that is driven by faith, inclusive, and caring. Recently, we signed on a statement, as the staff of United Catholic Youth Ministries, that supports protections for LGBTQ+ youth from Catholic bishops. We sign the statement in support of the Catholic bishops that wish to further show support for our young LGBTQ+ siblings in Christ by affirming their being God's children and that they should be protected from bullying, harassment, and other harm. Please read more about the statement below.
