YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Diocese of Youngstown’s 3rd annual young adult summer festival “ARISE” will take place Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Saint Robert Bellarmine Church, (4659 State Route 46) in Cortland. This year’s theme, “FULLY KNOWN,” is inspired by 1 Corinthians 13:12: “At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.”
Young adults (ages 18-39) from all six counties across the diocese will gather for a day of worship, encounter, substantial theology, and authentic community. The day includes an inspiring keynote from internationally known Catholic speaker, Bobby Angel, as well as the opportunity for Confession, Adoration, reflection, discussion, great food, outdoor games and activities, and a bonfire.
