Youth Day 2018

A big THANK YOU to all those who attended and supported Youth Day 2018! 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, "Dare to Believe."

Relieve the magic by watching our recorded sessions available on our YouTube Channel. Remember, the day doesn’t end! 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.

Mark your calendar and make sure to join us next year on March 21, 2018!

RECongress.org/Live

Beginning with Congress 2010, we have live-streamed our events in the Anaheim Arena. This year we streamed Youth Day and Congress Arena events and Spanish events held in Hall B. Again there were two playlists — one in English (Arena events) and one in Spanish (Hall B events) — all found at RECongress.org/LIVE. If you didn't get a chance to see the sessions live, you can still watch them online.
