DYC this year features great speakers in Fr. Leo Patalinghug and our very own Bishop David D. Kagan, as well as a concert by Popple. Eucharistic Adoration and the Sacrament of Confession will also be made available for participants. The conference is free of cost. Please register youth below so that we can be fully prepared to offer youth participants lunch!

Leo Patalinghug, founder, host, and director of Plating Grace, an international apostolate to help strengthen families and relationship through God’s gift of a family meal; youth speaker and presenter, and author of the popular book “Grace Before Meals: Recipes & Inspiration for Family Meals & Family Life.”

MCs and Music:  Popple is a duo made up of Kyle Heiman and Dan Harms. Kyle and Dan met, played music, wrote music, recorded music and now are full-time musicians and speakers.
