Parish Registration Packet

This year, Chad Judice will address the theme: "He is the Way to Life." Judice and his wife, Ashley, were told while she was pregnant that their child would be born with spina bifida. Their choice to allow their child to be born was not supported by the world around them. Judice has written two books chronicling this journey, "Waiting for Eli" and "Eli’s Reach." The cost to attend is $50 for youth and $60 for adult chaperones. Scholarships are available. Register though your parish. To register your parish, download and return the registration packet with fee to the address provided by Dec. 19.

This annual weekend event for high school youth is held in Little Rock to coincide with the Arkansas Mass and March for Life. It focuses on right-to-life issues through a youth perspective. Activities begin on Saturday night and include a speaker, dance and "lock-in". On Sunday after breakfast, youth go to the Mass for Life, which is followed by the March for Life to the state Capitol. It ends with the rally at the Capitol, which includes prayers, speakers and music. Weekend Extravaganza is sponsored by the diocesan Catholic Youth Ministry Office.
