Religious Activities Committee

 

Chariman: Unknown

 

Information from Supreme for this committee:

  • Conduct a retreat for Catholic high school students. Conduct a weekend “Day of Recollection” for teenage students.
  • Provide facilities and a priest for Catholic children at summer camps.
  • Plan a “Mission Night” and invite high school boys and girls to attend. Arrange for representatives from the mission societies — priests, brothers and sisters — to speak to the group about their missionary work.
  • Ask that youth groups sponsored by your council plan an annual fundraiser for a local Catholic project, the missions, or vocations.
  • Observe World Youth Day. This special day was established in 1985 by Pope John Paul II and continued by Pope Benedict XVI, inviting the youth of the world to discover the Church and their role in the mission of the Church. In celebration, plan a prayer service, a youth rally, a discussion group or a special Mass. World Youth Day is celebrated on different dates in different countries. If possible send a group of young people to the international World Youth Day when it occurs.
  • Promote a “Youth for Missions” project. Seek volunteers from the ranks of high school seniors to spend a vacation week working at a nearby mission.
