ARROWS OF LIGHT - YOUTH LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
“How to Live the Faith Well While Leading and Inspiring Others.”
The purpose of the day-long conference is to provide encouragement and skills for high school youth to grow in their personal holiness as well as to develop their leadership abilities in reaching their peers in their parish, families & community. The day will also be an opportunity for the participants to make new friends in other parishes. They will be encouraged to continue to build those relationships especially in nearby parishes in order that they could work together for prayer and service opportunities.
