Ministries

Even before the YAM Office was in existence, there were parish and organizational young adult groups.  Today there are a number of parish and organizational YAM groups including CTK Singles, ACS, Spirit & Truth, St. Vincent DePaul, Holy Spirit Young Professionals, TEC (To Encounter Christ)…just to name a few.  One of our goals is to network these groups together and publicize their events so that young adults have one information source for the variety of opportunities that are available throughout the Archdiocese.  You can find out more information about these parish based and YAM affiliated organizations through browsing the links below.

expand/collapse Atlanta Catholic Sports

Atlanta Catholic Sports (ACS) is a sports-based ministry serving young adults (19+ years old) in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Through organized sports leagues and events, ACS is committed to enriching the lives of its members spiritually, socially and in the community.

Founded in 1998, ACS has 1,800 young adults playing in six sports leagues. While geared toward Catholics, some of our members are from other Christian faiths. All of our leagues and activities are co-ed and have divisions for more competitive, skilled players and intermediate and/or recreational divisions for those newer to a sport who simply want to enjoy Christian fellowship while honing their athletic skills.

Want to get involved? We have many volunteers who put their heart and passion into ACS and we are always looking for more volunteers to help organize and operate our leagues and events.

expand/collapse To Encounter Christ (TEC)

The mission of Atlanta TEC is to provide retreat opportunities TO ENCOUNTER CHRIST which enable young adults to experience the Paschal Mystery in the sacraments and in the community, thus sending forth disciples empowered to enlighten and ignite the world for the building up of the Kingdom of God.

A TEC Weekend is an opportunity for young adults to explore their relationship with God. We live such hectic and harried lives that we become too busy for God and too busy to reengage with the vital questions on our hearts. Too many Catholics know about Jesus but they don't know Jesus in an intimate and vibrant way. The weekend is an open invitation for you to encounter the Risen Christ.
