Happening

Happening Fall 2019Happening is open to all 9th through 12th graders.

Happening is a unique high school experience weekend that helps teens foster a personal more meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ.

During a Happening weekend, participants will experience the love of Christ through music, talk, prayer, worship and a community led by fellow students, all of which is supported by clergy and lay adults.

Happening is sponsored by the Diocese of Southwest Florida and is a one-time encounter designed for high school youth.

Note: Each participant must have a sponsor. The sponsor does not attend the weekend. He/she serves as a contact to assist with some important pre-weekend details and will receive additional information once the Diocese processes the participant's registration. Past Happeners and Youth Leaders make GREAT SPONSORS!

New Beginnings to be Rescheduled

October 05, 2022

PARRISH - Please see a letter from the Director of Youth Ministry and Programming, Matthew Bowers. 

 

October 4, 2022

 

Dear Youth and Families,

 
After speaking with Diocesan leadership, we have decided to postpone the New Beginnings youth retreat as recovery efforts are underway in our communities impacted by Hurricane Ian. We believe it is the best choice of action while we continue to clean up and account for the damage, and we hope we won't have to postpone for long. We will keep all of you updated when we reschedule New Beginnings and hope that you'll be able to join us. In the coming days, we'll be able to provide more information on the new date and will reach out to you regarding refunds if you aren't able to attend.
 
During this time, please continue to lift our Diocese up in prayer. While we still don't know the full extent of how Hurricane Ian has affected our area, the Episcopal Youth Community of Southwest Florida is committed to providing a safe, joyous place for them to return to soon.
 
If you have any questions, please reach out to me.
