Hello Emerging Adults,
Recently, the Vatican released an online questionnaire with the intended purpose of involving young people in preparations for the Synod of Bishops on youth in 2018. The Vatican would like to hear from Youth and Young Adults from around the world, so as to better understand your concerns, your hopes and aspirations, as well as your ideas that will help contribute to a more effective Church. My hope is that each of our Emerging Adults will take the time to answer the questionnaire, and share your thoughts with the Pope. To do so, please read the instructions below, and click on the link to begin your Vatican Survey.
Survey Instructions:

Refresh ATL
On June 18, 2015, Pope Francis released his Encyclical “Laudato Si: On Care for Our Common Home.” In it, he challenges us to reflect on the ways we use our resources and care for God’s creation. In support of this Encyclical, The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta introduces our “Refresh” campaign, which encourages Pope Francis’ message and engages our community to look at new and exciting ways we can “Care for Our Common Home.”
During this campaign, we will highlight and focus on different aspects of our home and life, which will include themes such as recycling, conservation, family and faith. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta will celebrate the many ways that our parishes and Catholic communities “refresh” and engage others, creating a healthier home for future generations.
Steubenville Atlanta- July 7 - 9, 2017 @ Infinite Energy Center in Duluth, GA
Each summer, Life Teen hosts six different Steubenville Youth Conferences (East, West, NYC, Lone Star, NorCal and Atlanta) with the hopes of strengthening and inspiring teens and youth groups in their collective journeys to Christ. Evangelistic in nature, these weekend conferences are both a great “introduction” to the Gospel message for new or younger teens, while offering deep and moving experiences of prayer and fellowship for even your Youth Group regulars.
Come let our Life Teen Staff and volunteers spoil you – you work so hard for the teens and their families…let us work hard for you. Give your own spirit the gift of renewal and give your teens the inspiration they need to renew not only your youth group but your entire parish community. Join us for a weekend of engaging liturgies, inspiring music, challenging talks and overwhelming joy.
NCYC
The National Catholic Youth Conference will be held November 16–18, 2017 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The conference is organized by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM). During the conference, there is music, prayer, workshops, liturgy, and opportunities to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
