Events

Diocesan Youth Events are a great way to help your youth grow their faith. The programs offer a variety of prayer and spirituality experiences as well as time to connect with other parishes. Registration can be done over the phone, by fax or you can register online.


Nightwatch

Come join youth from across the diocese as we explore Philadelphia Cathedral and our spiritual sides. This is a great way to help your young people experience God and connect with the Gospel. Here is what one mother and youth leader reported after the program, “My own son said he enjoyed himself more then if he had gone on a ski trip that he was supposed to have gone on that Saturday.”

Senior High Nightwatch – February 5th-6th, 2010
Cost: $20 for Youth & $10 for Adult Chaperones

Happening

It’s back! Many of you have been asking about this popular retreat program that sprang from the Cursillo movement, and it is ready to begin anew. Through a partnership with the Diocese of Delaware we will start to rebuild this program in our own diocese.

City Camp 2010

This is camp like you have never seen it before! Senior High students camp in the urban churchyard of St. James the Less. The teens help run a day camp for children from the local community, as well as do a number of community outreach projects. This week-long urban mission experience enables young people to make a change in this community and within themselves.

Cost: $200


Mission Guatemala

This year the youth mission trip to Guatemala is back! We will partner with the non-profit Constru Casa and build three homes in one week. Teens will stay with their adult chaperone in the home of a host family. This unique experience of service and cultural exposure will be one to remember!

Cost: $500 to individual & $500 to the parish
