ROYA is excited to announce its 2023 Youth Congress! We are blessed to be able to return to a fully in person, combined US and Canada congress this year :)
This event is intended for young adults between the ages of 17-30. We hope to have representatives and delegates from as many of our American and Canadian parishes as possible.
While the main focus of this retreat will be the Youth Congress, participants will also take part in conferences, workshops, and discussions on various topics
.
We will also be organizing indoor and outdoor games,
team-building activities, and more, in hopes of encouraging the
formation of long-lasting friendships.
This is one of our most important events in the sense that it allows us to communicate problems we face in our parish, in our youth groups, and work together towards solutions. Part of the success relies on everyone's participation in the Congress, whether it is sharing information about the youth at their parish or offering a solution, or simply giving feedback. More information about how to prepare in this respect will be sent out soon. If you are a delegate, expect an email with how to prepare a parish report.
Event Dates: Friday, October 6th-Monday, October 9th 2023
