Youth Arise DC: In preparation for the International World Youth Day in Australia in 2008!
World Youth Day 2007 Theme from the Vatican:
Jesus said, “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” (John 13:34)
Youth Arise International will be hosting a localized celebration of World Youth Day for young adults throughout the DC Metro area on October 6, 2007 at Catholic University.
Come for a powerful day of:
Dynamic and professional speakers.
Praise and Worship with Catholic musician Matt Maher.
Holy Mass with Bishop Jacobs from Louisiana.
Eucharistic Adoration.
Enjoy fellowship with other young adults from all over the DC Metro Area.
The name "Youth Arise" reflects the need for the young generation to rise and take our place as Christians in the world. This is in the spirit of the leadership of Pope John Paul II who called young adults to be builders of a Culture of Life and heralds of a New Evangelization.
The 2007 theme, given for use in localized World Youth Day celebrations is John 13:34: "Just as I have loved you; you also should love one another"
This Day will provide a taste of the upcoming international World Youth Day in Australia whose theme for 2008 will be, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses." (Acts 1:8)
