2 for 1 YA Conference Registrations!!

We are very excited to welcome you to Mary Gates Hall on Saturday May 16, 2009 for the Archdiocesan Young Adult ROOTED 2009 Conference: Saints in the Making. Because we are so excited about this event and want to make sure that everyone who wants to be there can be there, we are running a pre-registration special: 2 for 1 at any payment tier! That’s right - even if you have already registered for the Conference, you can now bring a friend for free! Please note that we will still need you or your guest to fill out a registration form and submit it to our registrar, Debbie Fisher, prior to noon on Friday. People who register at the door are not eligible for this special – this is a pre-registration special only. Also, please consider the spirit of this offer – we want you to encourage people who might not otherwise have come to be able to be a part of this great opportunity and experience the Catholic young adult community of Western Washington!

Also, please remember to arrive well in advance of the start of Conference (9:30 am is opening prayer). Registration opens at 8:30 and we strongly recommend that everyone try to arrive as early as possible, as Saturday is also the University Street Fair and parking and traffic will be more challenging than usual. The earlier you arrive, the better, as the street fair festivities draw more crowds the later it gets. Also, we strongly recommend carpooling and please do not park at the Newman Center. Parking instructions are found on the YA Conference Brochure.

Thank you again for your support of this event and we look forward to seeing all of you (and your friends!) at the Conference on Saturday.

Peace,
Frances

Welcome to the new Young Adult Ministry Blog!!

We encourage you to bookmark this page (http://www.seattleoyyam.org/) or subscribe to the updates on this or any other page, to ensure you always have the most updated information from our office.

All the blogs hope to accomplish several things:

• Communicate the most accurate and updated information to people as possible.
• Make important information and resources available easily and effectively.
• Help people connect to the ministries offered through OYYAM
• Provide resources to youth and young adult ministers as they become available.

In order to do this you will find two types of links. Links that navigate through the blog providing information and updates, and links that send you back to the appropriate location on the Archdiocesan web page. If you find something not working, or have suggestions for how to improve the page, please e-mail them Bridget Harris.

Although the blog is mostly up, we will have a few pages with errors and inactive links until all the content is developed. As this site develops, we hope it helps everyone find the information they need here and on the main Archdiocese website. We will move more content to this as time goes on, so be sure to use http://www.seattleoyyam.org/ as your new first stop for updated information from OYYAM.
