150 partial/full scholarships are available for youth from minority / rural communities thanks to a grant from the Mary Cross Tippmann Foundation. Contact John Pratt a [email protected] for more details.
Parish Group vs. Individual Attendee
The event runs best when youth attend with a parish group that brings adult leaders to mentor the young people from their parish delegation. If you are a student who would like to attend the 2021 Diocesan WYD from a parish that is not sending a delegation, please register and contact the Office of Youth Ministry at [email protected].
