Youth Activities

Get answers to life’s tough questions about love, dating, and relationships from internationally acclaimed speaker Jason Evert and leave with a healthy sense of self-worth and the ability, if needed, to start again. Purified brings parents and teens together to discover God’s plan for love and opens up an opportunity to continue the discussion about this important topic at home with resources that work. The event includes a talk from Jason where he mixes humor with down-to-earth practicality, making the difficult conversations about love much easier, and ends with Adoration, praise and worship, and an opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, transforming the night into a mini-retreat for the whole family.

The Archdiocesan Junior High Rally is an annual day for younger adolescents (grades 6-8th) to gather together as a community to pray, share, learn and celebrate with the larger archdiocesan family their Catholic faith. Throughout the day, youth and adults deepen their faith by participating in a wide variety of fun and faith-filled activities which focus on instructions of faith, community building, and a variety of hands-on service projects. Each year a new theme is selected which focuses on issues that affect the junior high youth.
