Shine Youth Rally is a unique event specifically designed for middle school youth with a goal of helping them to have an encounter with Jesus or renew and deeper their encounter with Jesus. This rally exists to inspire conversion, prayer and love of Christ Jesus in the context of the Catholic faith.
Mission
Through the sacramental Church lived out in community, Shine Youth Rally aims to lead middle school youth into an encounter with God. This encounter is personal, yet lived live out in the Catholic community. This encounter is intimacy with Jesus, and is manifest through a “yes” to faith. Shine is not about being boring, it is about the faith coming alive to “let your light shine before others” (Matthew 5:16).
We are faithful to the Magisterium with devotion to the Eucharistic Lord Jesus, seeking the intercession of Mary, Mother of God.
