Some have called it "the best five days in my life." Why would they say that? What
is the Young Adult Gathering (YAG) all about?
|
It is an annual midsummer's week near the mountain town of Estes Park, Colorado,
including spiritual conferences on Catholic life over seven days of the Latin Mass,
live music, workshops, activities and training in "Catholic Action." It brings young
adults from the US (and even internationally!), where Catholics can meet, where
reunions happen, and where the Catholic Faith is shared.
|
|
|
The Young Adult Gathering provides an opportunity for young Catholics to meet others
who are united in the same ideas, the same goals, the same Faith-having the same
desire to please our Lord Jesus Christ and to cultivate His Social Kingship in their
own lives. Gatherings such as this are of great importance for preserving the Faith
for a lifetime.
|
Led by priests of the Society of Saint Pius X, attendees at the Young Adult Gathering
attend daily Mass, thought provoking spiritual conferences, and enjoy wholesome
activities, benefiting body and soul. St. Thomas Aquinas says that grace builds
on nature. Taking his good advice, the Young Adult Gathering takes place amidst
the untouched beauty of the Rocky Mountains. The YAG is held in the alpine wilderness
just east of Rocky Mountain National Park, at Estes Park's 860-acre,
YMCA Mountain Retreat and Conference Center.

|
All young adults 18 and older, who are desirous of strengthening the life of grace
in themselves and who would like to develop healthy, friendly relationships with
other practicing Catholics, are welcome!
