If you answer to yes to any of these questions then you need to come out an join the St. Edmund Young Adults at Circle Lanes in Forest Park (7244 Circle Ave) on Thursday, December 13th around 7:30pm for a fun night of bowling. If you've never been to Circle Lanes, you're bound to have a good time. You keep your own score and beer specials are usually around $2.50/bottle.

Hope you all can join us. If not, stay posted to this site, we will try to keep it up to date with different events that will be going on this fall/winter.

Pub Crawl

Come join the young adult group on Saturday the 22nd at Molly Malone's (7652 Madison StreetForest Park, IL) at 9:00pm, as we indulge a little in the chemical bonds which make mixing barley and hops so fun! For the second year, we will be walking, then shuffling, and finally crawling our way down Madison Street to hit the various establishments for 30-45 minutes each. It's sure to be memoriable night so please plan on attending. We will be leaving from Molly's at 9:45 headed toward "Slainte" in case you miss us at Molly's.
