Religious Education CongressFebruary 26, 2009
Held at the Anaheim Convention Center, 800 West Katella Ave., Anaheim, Calif. (just across from Disneyland).
What is Youth Day?
Youth Day is held annually on the Thursday of the Religious Education Congress weekend. All High school students are invited, and many different backgrounds from throughout the Archdiocese -- and beyond -- come together to participate in morning and afternoon workshops, culminating in a Youth Rally.
Who may attend?
Youth Day is designed for all students from public and Catholic schools, grades 9 through 12. NOTE: Students below the 9th grade are not allowed to participate in this event and will be refused admission.
What does Youth Day cost?
Adult chaperones are required for each group of 10 students (maximum), all attending the same workshop. We recommend one extra chaperone for all your groups and suggest you add the additional name to your first group registered. The registration fee for Youth Day 2009 is $20 ($25 after fee increase of January 2009).
