Diocese of crookston Youth conference
The Diocese of Crookston is excited to kick off the 2024-2025 year of youth formation with the annual Diocese of Crookston Youth Conference.The theme of the conference is FISH. By virtue of our baptism, we are called to bring the good news – the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to the world around us. Pope Francis reminds us often of this baptismal call to missionary discipleship. For us, this call is a clear echo of the invitation Jesus made to a small group of ordinary fishermen two-thousand years ago, when he said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men (Matthew 4:19)”.
The day will be filled with many excellent, passionate speakers, including Bishop Andrew Cozzens, Brian Greenfield, Sister Elfie Del Rosario, FMA, Father Bryan Kujawa, Hope Bach, and the Bethany House Missionaries. The Jon Martin Band will lead us with music, praise and worship throughout the day, including adoration and Mass.
DCYC 2024 will also include interactive games and activities, and opportunities to meet other young Catholics from across the diocese. Join your peers from around the Diocese of Crookston, for a day of worship, praise, and Sacrament.
Contact Terry Steen to register for the conference. Registration forms are due by September 19th. You can pick up a form at the parish or print one here. Registration/liability form -
