What is Youth Spectacular?

Youth Spectacular is our local Church’s major annual gathering for and with youth. Youth Spectacular is celebrated to evangelize, inspire, form and ignite the youth to become true missionary disciples of Jesus Christ, impelled by the Holy Spirit. The ultimate purpose of the Youth Spectacular is to transform our young Catholics into the driving force of the New Evangelization in their homes, their schools, parishes and communities. 

2024 Theme: REVEALED

Throughout history, God has chosen to reveal himself in many ways. As the prophet Jeremiah states, “When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart” (29:13). Our 2024 theme “Revealed” explores how God reveals himself to those who seek him. Youth Spectacular offers an opportunity to discover the ways that God reveals himself to us through community, prayer, service, sacraments, and the charisms of the saints. 

What can I expect this year?

This year’s Youth Spectacular will include opportunities to build fellowship among the youth in the local Church. Participants will have a chance to attend Mass celebrated by Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller, M.Sp.S., pray together in adoration, be healed in the sacrament of Reconciliation, experience the beauty of praise and worship, plus take part in games, activities, and much more.
