All diocesan youth events are places where we strive for ALL youth to feel safe, seen, known and loved just as God sees them. We will continue to grow and learn and explore what it means to be a child of God no matter your race, ethnicity, orientation, or gender identity. The community we build together will always be a space of love and acceptance for all.
