What to expect?
Every day at Alive in You will be a new adventure. Your days will be packed with awesome praise and worship music, prayer, motivational speakers, service, and education about our Catholic faith. Your group will also have time to come together daily and grow closer while experiencing Christ at Alive in You. Alive in You will be held at different universities, retreat centers, and schools across the United States.
Your group will arrive on a Tuesday afternoon and will immediately dive into the Alive in You experience. Your first day at Alive in You will be an inspirational, motivational and informative introduction to an amazing week. On Day One, you will meet the other participating Catholic youth groups and find out where you will be working during the 3 days of service at Alive in You. Participants will also be given an introduction to the weekly theme; which is carefully chosen each year with the goal of educating young people about our Catholic faith.
Days of Service! Young people will work in assigned teams to perform service activities in your host city. We will have service opportunities of various magnitudes, from simple jobs requiring one group to extreme home and church makeovers for many different groups. Wednesday through Friday will also be packed with high energy morning and evening sessions, individual parish time and opportunities to go to Mass and Eucharistic Adoration.
Your weekend Catholic Conference begins!
Alive in You builds in a few hours of free time on Saturday morning for you and your group to explore the host city. Upon return, prepare yourself to experience the richness of our Catholic faith during the Alive in You Conference. Your experience will be a perfect blend of spiritual activities, workshops, witness talks, praise and worship and team building. These activities will lead up to Saturday night, the awesome spiritual pinnacle of Alive in You.
Your Alive in You Conference will conclude with the Alive in You highlight video and our final Mass of the week.
