Welcome to the homepage of the International Secretariat of the Youth Teams of Our Lady. Through this site you can follow links to the homepages of the YTOL in each country, or check up contacts of the countries which have no homepage.

You can also find some of the international documents with the guidelines of the movement, as well as information regarding the history of the teams and the international meetings which take place every two years.

The YTOL began in 1976 through the initiative of some children of Teams of Our Lady members - a movement for couples – with the aim of applying the same dynamics of the TOL to groups of young single catholics who want to deepen their understanding of the Faith and of the Church.

Since then the movement has grown to the point where it is present in 13 countries with over 5000 members.

The Job of the International Secretariat is to try and maintain contact with all the different countries and coordinate efforts when and where necessary. Although this is an international movement, YTOL functions with great autonomy at national and regional levels, with the International Reunions being the main point of contact between different countries.

If you are a YTOL member then we hope you appreciate this website, and look forward to your suggestions. If you are not a member and would like to be, find out if there are teams in your country. If not and you would like to help set up a team in your country contact us.

May we never let go of the hand of Mary who leads us to the Father!
