There is nothing more impactful than sitting in the true presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.
With this in mind, we invite all youth to join us for diocesan wide adoration night on Sept. 15th from 7pm-8:30pm at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish with renowned Catholic youth speaker and musician, Deacon Bob Rice.
Deacon Rice is a Professor of Catechetics at Franciscan University of Steubenville and is a dynamic speaker who has been a leading voice in the field of youth ministry for over 30 years. He has recorded numerous CDs and leads worship for over ten thousand people every year, mostly through the Steubenville Conferences. We are excited to welcome him to our diocese for this one-time event!
The evening will consist of a meal, a Holy Hour of Adoration, and a talk by Deacon Rice.
When: Sunday, September 15: 7-8:30pm
Where: St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish
4737 N Cleveland Ave, Kansas City, MO 64117
Who can attend: 6th - 12th Graders
Cost: FREE
The recent lowering of Confirmation age with the introduction of The Way presents a paradigm shift in how we approach high school youth ministry in our diocese. Confirmation prep will no longer be a staple of youth ministry programs for older teens. Understandably, this is a cause for concern. It fundamentally changes the dynamic of how many youth are brought into the high school ministry programs.
Fortunately, Dr. Bob Rice has seen this change in numerous dioceses across the country and believes this shift can help youth ministry programs to thrive, not die. However, it requires a new way of thinking about high school ministry.
From September 15th-17th, Dr. Rice will be on our diocese to present his vision for youth ministry in a post-Confirmation world. This workshop is a must for youth ministers and core team members as we move forward in implementing The Way Youth to Young Adult Initiative.
