Happening
Happening 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!
