Round 1 (morning | 11:10 a.m.)

  • ¿Joven te has preguntado porque Dios te dio tu familia?  Ven y conoce tu lugar dentro de la familia que Dios te regalo.  Hablaremos de cómo mejorar tu relación familiar.  

  • When a friend tells me that they’re “gay” or I start to experience same-sex attraction myself, where do I turn? What do I do? Come and learn what the church believes about human sexuality when it comes to these attractions and how we are called to accompany those who experience them in pursuing the truth with love as Jesus does.

  • Have you ever struggled to pray? Maybe you’ve felt unsure of what to say, distracted, or even just too tired to pray. In this workshop, discover why those moments of uncertainty are part of the journey and how God meets us where we are. You’ll also gain practical tools to overcome distractions, find time for prayer, and make prayer a habit that sticks.

  • The first and second commandments are arguably the most important and yet, they can be the most difficult to follow. In this breakout session, we will discuss how understanding and receiving God's love can transform how we experience love and give us the ability to love others. Now more than ever, there is a need for this transformative love to encounter our isolation and loneliness and better equip us to transmit that love to those who need it the most.

  • Do you ever wonder about questions like, does God actually care about me? Why do I feel like I am always asking for the same prayer request? As we take on the commitment to grow in relationship with God, our circumstances and hardships can discourage us in our capacity to hear the true voice of God. Join Jocelyn as we explore the practicalities of prayer: what to do in moments of discouragement and waiting and how to grow in greater trust in God's love for me.

  • Life after high school is a season of exciting opportunities and new challenges. As you step into this next chapter, your relationship with God remains an essential foundation. In this workshop, we'll explore practical ways to develop and sustain a vibrant prayer life in the midst of changing schedules, environments, and responsibilities. Whether you're heading to college, entering the workforce, or pursuing other dreams, discover how to stay connected to God, deepen your faith, and integrate prayer into your daily routine. 

  • We all face tough times and try to make sense of struggle. When embracing the cross, the struggle becomes part of our identity, and our tough times are actually what draw us near to God.

  • The rosary is a gift for our time and a weapon for good. By tracing its origins, learning how to pray it, examining what saints and regular folks say it has done in them, and tracing how it has dramatically changed world history - we will be inspired to take it up daily so that it can also transform our lives.

Workshops Round 2 (afternoon | 2:20 p.m.)

  • ¿Te cuesta trabajo tener amigos?  ¿Conservar amistades o tienes dificultad para comunicarte con las personas que más te interesan?  Dios tiene la respuesta y también una propuesta para ti.  Conoce cómo mejorar tu comunicación con el mundo a tu alrededor.

  • Get Rich Slow: Authentic Manhood and the Fast Lane to Holiness 

    “I don’t want excuses, I want results!” was shouted at me by my coach as I walked off the field after letting the team down. Living in a world where all that matters is results can take a toll on our calling to heroic manhood and the slow work of God.

    Come unpack your call to greatness, the value of brotherhood, and learn how to kill a deer with your bare hands.

  • Simplistic Holiness Meets Warrior of Joy

    God created you good. He created you for purpose. He created you for Himself. Together, we'll dive into what it means to live a life of holiness while being a strong, confident woman.
