This year, the City of Saints Teen Conference will VIRTUALLY gather high school teens from across all 5 regions to form one family of faith. Archbishop Gomez reminds young people that we are the Church of Jesus Christ and we need to pray for one another and stick together. Even when we cannot gather in person, we are still invited to express our sainthood in our lives.
In our readings for Sunday August 2, we hear Jesus' invitation to come to him and be nourished. Jesus invites us to come as we are. To approach Him knowing that nothing can separate us from His love. He knows the needs in our hearts and invites us to be satisfied in Him!
Join us as we create a virtual experience to connect with Jesus and with the bigger church.
Date: Saturday August 1, 2020
Time: 1pm - 4pm, Mass will begin at 3pm
We encourage you to let the youth know to log on 5-10 minutes before the live stream starts.
The emcee will accompany you through this live interactive experience!
Joining the emcee will be Archbishop Jose Gomez, our worship leader, ProjectYM, and our keynote.
The breakout sessions are not part of the live stream and will be sent via email to the person who registered.
They can be used for a youth night, confirmation session or personal prayer.
This is your city. Be a saint!
Last Day to Register will be wednesday July 29th.
