The Youth Ministry Services Office of the Archdiocese of Seattle has asked St. Mary to host one of three World Youth Day Events for parishes in the Archdiocese. We accepted the invitation and are thrilled to be hosting this event! There will be speakers, music, games, Mass, and more! Please mark your calendar for Tuesday, August 1, 2023 from Noon-4:00pm. We will keep you updated as we get more information. 

World Youth Day is a pilgrimage of young people from all over the world, gathering together with the Holy Father as an expression of the Universal Church. This year, it takes place in Lisbon, Portugal, which is far away! 

The Archdiocese is offering this series of regional World Youth Day events to make WYD accessible to young people throughout the archdiocese, to give them the opportunity to participate in this global Church event, and to inspire them to attend World Youth Day one day in the future! 

Our local WYD events are designed for high school student groups and college-aged young adults. 

Registration opens soon!
