Youth Day 2017
A big THANK YOU to all those who attended and supported Youth Day 2017! In a special way, we thank the Youth Day Coordinating Team and the 400 youth and adult volunteers who made the day possible. More than 13,000 youth from across the Archdiocese and beyond gathered to explore our theme, "What Are You Waiting For?"

Relieve the magic by watching our recorded session available on our YouTube Channel. Remember, the day doesn’t end here! Make sure to keep connected with us all year long on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @LAYouthDay. Share your pictures and posts from the day using #LAYouthDay.

For those who attended Youth Day, please don’t forget to complete the Youth Day Evaluation. Be sure to give us your feedback; it helps us to know what we are doing well, and how we can continue to improve Youth Day so that young people have the best experience possible.
