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.
