Youth Formation Summit 2022

We are happy to announce the information for the 2022 Youth Formation Leadership Summit. This year’s summit will be held on Friday, July 22nd -  Sunday, July 24th.  We want to share some details of the weekend with you:

Where will the summit be held?
This year’s summit will be held at the Pastoral Center on Highway 311 in Schriever. We can’t wait to be with you!

What can I expect from the weekend?
The weekend is designed to be an opportunity for you and your team to come together to grow in relationship with God, both individually and communally. That will include formation sessions, personal prayer time, time for team prayer and discernment, and liturgies. So, the weekend is designed to be more than just a workshop.

We strongly encourage Youth Formation Coordinators to invite their teams to join us at Summit this year, as the weekend will also place focus time for teams to grow together spiritually and in friendship. We also want to provide you with lots of concrete, practical things to help you as you move forward. 

Who is the weekend designed to serve?
The content and practical details for the weekend will be focused particularly on middle school and high school formation.
While the weekend is open to anyone involved in youth formation, it is designed to best serve your middle school or high school mentors.

What does the schedule look like?
We’ll be kicking off Friday evening with dinner at 5:30 for anyone who is available, with sessions starting around 6:30pm. We’ll have a full day Saturday and continue through Sunday afternoon. We are planning to wrap up around 3pm on Sunday, which includes Mass during the day.

Do you have any accommodations for who have to travel?
Due to the lingering effects of Hurricane Ida, block-rate hotel availability is very limited.  We are currently working with a local hotel to secure a block of rooms, but nothing is guaranteed, and we will not know definitively until at least July 1.  If you are traveling and desire to stay near the Pastoral Center, we encourage you to check into local hotels and secure your own individual arrangements.

How much does it cost to attend the summit?
Nothing! We are happy to say that we are able to offer the weekend at no cost to you! We’ll provide food and materials throughout the weekend.

How and when do I register?
