PRAY
Christ is at the center of this day, and Jorgé Rivera, a
young adult ministry director in the Archdiocese of Chicago and a
recording artist with World Library Publications has a gift of
leading rousing prayer experiences through word and song. Mass
with Bishop Dale Melczek promises to be a highlight, too. The Mass
fulfills your Sunday obligation, and he will share his hopes for
you, and listen to reports generated earlier in the day through
the symposium.
VISION
The day features three keynotes from dynamic speakers who know and
believe in today's Catholic young adult. Following each keynote,
the three sub-groups will divide into processing sessions designed
to explore the topic from each sub-group's own unique perspective.
Those sessions will allow your voice to be heard in the future of
young adult ministry in the Diocese of Gary, and to hear what
other young adults throughout Northwest Indiana are saying about
the faith you share. The process is very engaging, and will plant
seeds that shall bear much fruit! (Luke 8: 5-8)
MEET OTHERS & HAVE FUN!
It might feel like there aren't many others your age that share
your faith and hope for the future of the Church. This day is all
about bringing people like you together! Not only will you have a
chance to meet others in the symposium process, you will also
break bread together at lunch and in Eucharist.
(Optional but
encouraged!) DINNER & DJ DANCE SOCIAL
After Mass, you are invited and encouraged to celebrate all that
we have accomplished with a dinner and social. A cash bar is
available for those 21 and over.
