13th Annual Diocesan Eucharistic Retreat

YOUTH 2000 is an international retreat program started in 1990 at the request of John Paul II to evangelize Catholic youth. Each year our diocesan YOUTH 2000 welcomes more than 300 youths, many from parish youth groups and Confirmation classes. Most are young teens, but college students also attend.

Please encourage the young people you know to gather at YOUTH 2000, where they can learn more about our faith...meet in the Eucharist…feel His healing love...make new friends from around the diocese…enjoy live music — and have some fun!

Program

Following the model of , the event includes daily Mass, the , Eucharistic adoration, dynamic catechesis by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, live music, and lay testimonials as well as great food, snacks, and social time. Some new guest speakers are coming this year! Many of our diocesan priests come to concelebrate and hear confessions.

On Saturday participants can ask questions of a select panel of clergy and laity. The panelists come well prepared to explain Church teaching on matters large and small — especially on tough issues of faith and morals — with clarity, charity, and wit. Visit website for full schedule.
