Did you know? Events like the Diocesan Youth Conference are made possible in part through the support of the Annual Catholic Appeal and the generosity of its donors. In February, nearly 900 teenagers and their adult leaders from more than 45 parishes gathered at St. Joseph Parish and Donovan High School in Toms River for a day centered on the theme “Powerful.”
Young people experienced vibrant praise and worship, heard inspiring talks, participated in service projects, and spent time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Throughout the day, they built friendships, strengthened their faith, and joyfully celebrated their Catholic identity.
Moments like these remind us that, together, we are forming the next generation of faithful, engaged Catholics. Thank you to everyone who has supported the Appeal thus far.
