YACHT Club
|
We come from all walks of life, married or single, and with or without children. YACHT is an acronym for: Young Adults Coming Home Together. Spiritual Although spirituality is the
anchor of everything we do, certain activities have a direct spiritual focus. Some of the things we have done in the
past year include: sitting together at weekly Mass, praying the rosary
together using different themes, prayer reading/reflection/meditation, trip
to Joslyn Art Museum to see illuminated Bible, and outdoor Masses. Service We want to make a splash in our
communities by putting our faith into action. Therefore, we serve in a variety of
roles. We have served others in
Omaha by: making dinner for families at The Ronald McDonald House, Habitat
for Humanity, serving food at Siena Francis House, sponsoring children for
Christmas gifts and back-to-school supplies, and initiating service projects
with various charity partners
We also serve our parish community by working at the Lenten Stew and
Brew, assisting with St. Leo’s Mardi Gras celebration and annual church
picnic, and helping with our parish’s high school youth group events
and service projects. Social
Work, Pray, and Play– the
three sails of the YACHT Club! We have a mix of fun activities in and out of
Omaha including: Road Rally city-wide scavenger hunt, drive-in movie theatre
in church parking lot, Niobrara canoe trips and Colorado ski trips,
Oktoberfest with polka lessons, Shakespeare on the Green, weekly sand
volleyball teams, botanical garden visit, annual progressive dinner at member
houses, hayrack ride, Cinco de Mayo celebration, game nights– board
game and sports nights, Lincoln Haymarket excursion, happy hours and book club. No young adult group is an
island. We connect with our peers
from other parishes in the diocese through events such as: Theology on Tap,
Pilgrimage to the Holy Family Shrine, running/walking group, and Pizza with a
Priest. We invite you to attend any of our events! No registration forms, passports, IDs, or life jacks required!! For a current list of events click on "Calendar" at the top of the page.
