There is no cross, big or small, in our life which Jesus does not share with us. He wants us to go to him. He wants to be in relationship with us. Now is the time for young people to form that relationship with Jesus! Balancing home, school and social life can be challenging.
How does a young person learn to live out their catholic faith while dealing with social pressures, personal identity and social media challenges? This Jr. High Youth Day event could be the answer or at least a stepping stone for a young person.The Jr. High Youth Day is a one-day event for all students in grades 6-8th. This youth day event is an opportunity for the youth to explore their faith and grow deeper in relationship with Christ through music, prayer, and talks. All talks, small and large group breakout sessions are prepared by the keynote speakers and high school leaders.

When you register (below) you will be able to choose your top 4 breakout sessions.Catholic Identity as a Student -- High school students will share how they live out their Catholic identity as a student and show you how you can too!
Take a look here to see what the topics are.
The Real Presence -- There are over one hundred Eucharistic Miracles recongnized by the Catholic Church with some quite literally tasting human flesh or blood, or both. Why does this sometimes happen?
Friendship. Dignity. Legacy -- Everyone wants to have meaningful relationships, but how do we form and keep them no matter the distance? In this breakout, you will learn how to make and keep friends that will be everlasting!
Love is -- Our world skews the vision that Christ had for love of one another. Come see where you fit in that vision!
Prayer for Beginners -- "Eating keeps your body alive, and prayer keeps your soul alive. Praying is more important than eating because your soul is more important than your body..."
How to use TIK TOK and Be Catholic -- Is it okay to use TIK TOK? How do we responsibly use social media and follow Jesus? Join us for a discussion on phone use, distraction, and living our Catholic faith.
Adoration -- Have something that is weighing on your mind? Do you need to ask for forgiveness? Do you want to feel a sence of peace? Then spend some close time with the Blessed Sacrament. Just you and Jesus.Gratitude - An Essential Part of Faith -- Thankfulness or gratitude is not just for Thanksgiving Day. Although practicing gratitude is scientifically proven to be healthy, it is more than that. It is an essential part of our faith. Come to this breakout to talk about why gratitude is so important and to learn some practical tips on how to incorporate it into our everyday life.
