Youth Day Turns 50!

For the last 49 years, Youth Day has kicked off the RECongress weekend, gathering over 13,000 teens together to connect and share their faith. This year, teens will have the opportunity to be part of the entire virtual weekend!

Teens from around the Los Angeles Archdiocese and beyond have embraced the theme – Proclaim the Promise! – and encourage us all to remember that God’s covenant remains even through the chaos. The youth have been working very hard to create a space for young people by young people. They are inspired to share their faith with YOU!

We look forward to welcoming high school-aged youth to our 2021 virtual Los Angeles Religious Education Congress.

Jóvenes de todas partes de la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles han adoptado el tema – ¡Proclama la Promesa! – y nos inspiran a todos a recordar que la alianza de Dios permanece incluso durante el caos.
