Young Adult Summer Speaker Series
Open to young adults ages 18–39 | Held at parishes throughout Lake County
Wednesdays, May 27–July 8, 2026
All events begin at 7:00 PM, with doors opening earlier for food and fellowship
Embark on a transformative journey of faith and fellowship with our Summer Young Adult Speaker Series, specially curated for Catholic young adults aged 18–39. Begin rooted in the Eucharist as we gather for Mass and community, and continue through a dynamic exploration of faith in everyday life—recognizing God’s presence in the ordinary, encountering the depth of Christ’s love through the Sacred Heart, and learning the art of discernment in the midst of life’s decisions.
In a world searching for purpose and belonging, discover your essential role in the Church’s mission and reflect on your unique voice and calling within it. Experience the richness of the Church’s tradition through the beauty of the Byzantine Liturgy, and be invited into deeper prayer through Adoration, praise, and worship.
These enriching opportunities not only deepen your understanding of the Catholic faith but also offer practical ways to live it out daily, forming you to be a witness of hope and love in the world. Join us as we gather in fellowship, dialogue, and prayer, igniting the flames of faith and building lasting connections with one another and with God.
RSVP’s help us with planning for food and seating. Thank you!

Mass for Young Adults
Start the Young Adult Speaker Series by gathering for Mass with other young adults who are seeking connection, purpose, and deeper faith. This Kickoff Mass sets the tone for the series ahead—rooted in prayer, fueled by community, and open to where God is leading. Join us for a cookout and bonfire after Mass. All are invited, so bring a friend!
Our presider will be Fr. Ivan Alatorre, associate pastor at St. John the Baptist in Hammond.
