Community Life

This committee focuses on increasing experiences of community and recreation in the Diocese of
Tulsa. They work with the DYAMC, Tulsa Diocese and parishes to help connect Catholic young adults
to parishes and to each other. They plan and implement community-building activities, sports
and social events or tie into existing social, recreational, or educational events that allow young
adults to meet others, relax, have fun, fellowship and establish friendships.

Spirituality

This committee focuses on opportunities and resources to help young adults develop spiritually. They work to plan and implement activities and programs to deepen the young adult’s relationship with Christ and the Church, whether through private or community retreats, classes, or prayer and worship experiences, including PSI faith enrichment studies, Celebration of Mass, Adoration, Together Encounter Christ, Theology of the Body, Marriage Encounter, scripture studies, and prayer groups.

Justice and Peace

This committee focuses on providing opportunities and resources to develop a sense of service and
advocacy among young adults. The committee works with the DYAMC, Tulsa Diocese and parishes
to plan and implement service projects, communicate with young adults about social justice
issues, and provide research, information, and organize opportunities to take action on these
issues. Projects include caroling and games at retirement homes, delivering meals to homeless,
support for underprivileged schools, supporting Catholic Charities’ programs, etc.

Pastoral Care

Whether it’s sending a birthday or get-well card, offering resources on physical health, or planning a workshop for newly married couples, this committee works with the DYAMC, Tulsa Diocese and parishes to provide for the needs of young adults through many stages of
life. They offer resources and support to those discerning vocations, dealing with concerns of their
chosen vocation, and help prepare young adults to respond in a crisis situation..

About the Council
The Diocese Young Adult Ministry Council is comprised of Catholic Young Adults from across the diocese who plan events and minister to the young adults of the diocese. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month and are open to all young adults of the diocese. Our next meeting will be at 7pm at James E. McNellie's.

The Council’s mission is to connect all young adults to the life of the Catholic Church by building community, strengthening their faith and Spirituality, and providing them opportunities to exercise their gifts in service, justice and care for one another.

During part of the meetings we break into small groups to focus on each of four topics we address. These four committees look at the aspects of community life, spirituality, justice and peace, and pastoral care in lives of young adults in our diocese.
