Check out the Happening #39 Brochure!

What is Happening?
Happening is a weekend for high school youth, 10th through 12th grades, 15-18 years old. Happening begins on Friday night at 7 pm and concludes with a worship service on Sunday afternoon. During the two-day weekend, participants experience the love of our Lord as shown through the sacraments and the ministry of fellow students, clergy, and lay adults. Those who attend Happening are encouraged to take their faith back into the world to make a friend, be a friend, and introduce a friend to Christ.

Format of Happening
The teenager who leads Happening, other teenagers, adults, and the clergy who make up the "staff" spend weeks working and praying together in preparation. The Happening takes careful planning because the time is short and the subject extensive. The titles of the talks indicate some of their content: Reality, Faith, Grace, Sacraments, Piety, Jesus Christ and His Disciples. Following the talks the Happeners discuss them in small groups.

Encounter with Christ
Happening is an encounter with Christ. That sounds simple, doesn’t it? Think about it - a real meeting with Christ. The power, beauty, and joy of being with Him. Interested??? Join us!

Who can attend?
Any youth, 15 - 18 years of age, or in the 10th, 11th or 12th grades. For this purpose, your grade changes on June 1 each year.
