PYE 2026 Registration is open! Youth from around the Diocese are invited to join together for a weekend filled with exciting activities, new friends, and retreat favorites. This event is for 6-12 grade students. Parents and adult leaders are also welcomed.
New Friends: Our leadership team is preparing to lead small group activities that build confidence, encourage friendships, and promote a deeper understanding of God’s hope & love.
Exploring a Theme: The entire weekend is designed to explore the topic chosen by our Youth Leadership Team Faith on the Road and to help all participants feel welcomed and included. Our Big Sessions will have ice breakers, guest speakers, youth testimonies, and a live worship band.
