2016 High School Youth Convention


All Students in Grades 9-12 are invited to attend!                Sunday, March 6, 2016

 

 

"Today I ask you in the name of Christ and the Church, never tire of being merciful.”
 Pope Francis, The Church of Mercy

    Kyle has seen every episod e of "Saved by the Bell," knows half the "Spongebob Squarepants" theme i n Spanish.  Jon knows how to say "Monkey" in 10 different languages if you count pig latin and he's confident he can throw a Frisbee farther with his toes than you can with your hand.  Together, they play three instruments, have 15 siblings, and are excited to share their music, comedy, skits and other sh enanigans  with the great people of the Diocese of Fall River.   

Kyle & Jon will challenge you to look closely at your faith life.  Through their witness, they'll speak to you, today's youth, about issues that are faced every day.  They will help you find ways to live life as a disciple of Christ, allowing you to be the person Christ wants YOU to be.

Keynote topics:

"Are You Readyyyyyy?  Training Tips for the Big Game"

-This keynote will challenge how we make decisions and empower us to go do something great!

"Going Deep: Maximize Your Weekly Routine" 

-This keynote will have us digging deep into our faith, getting a better understanding of God and His incredible love and mercy that He so freely shares with us.

Kyle & Jon will have merchandise available for purchase: CD's, T-shirts, etc.

The annual High School Convention is a wonderful way to bring youth together from across the diocese to share and experience the universality of our Catholic Faith.  This year's convention includes workshops (participants will have a choice of workshop) that are geared to help youth as they face the challenges of living a Christian life.  The convention and Mass will be held at Bishop Stang High School.  Bishop da Cunha will celebrate the Mass.

ALL DROP-OFFS AND PICK-UPS MUST OCCUR AT THE ENTRANCE FACING THE BISHOP STANG FOOTBALL FIELD (UNDER THE CROSS).

The day begins with check-in at 9:30 a.m.  Kyle & Jon's presentation will begin promptly at 10:30 AM.  The day concludes at 5:30PM.  The cost for this year's convention is $20.00 per person. 

DIOCESAN PERMISSION FORMS CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM OUR WEBSITE WWW.FALLRIVERFAITHFORMATION.ORG AND MUST BE FAXED TO THE OFFICE OF FAITH FORMATION AT 508-675-3864 NO LATER THAN THRUSDAY, MARCH 4TH!

The Youth Convention does not substitute for the parish Confirmation Retreat but can count toward regular class time.
