Deadline for Group Registration to ENCOUNTER 2025

ENCOUNTER is a day-long event where youth groups from across the Diocese of Youngstown gather together for a communal and inspirational faith experience. The day features dynamic breakout sessions, a keynote speaker, Mass with Most Reverend David J. Bonnar, praise and worship, Adoration, and time with friends. Experiencing Christ’s Love for us as both sacrificial and redemptive, we can tune into our innate desire to run to Jesus with all we are and have and cultivate a personal relationship with Him.

“No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” ~John 15:13
