Catholic Youth Convention 2026 – Never Alone

Join us for Catholic Youth Convention 2026 

Come together with hundreds of high school students across the Archdiocese of Seattle for this year’s Catholic Youth Convention at Saint Martin’s University in Lacey. This special day will help you grow in your relationship with Jesus, connect with other Catholic teens, and discover how you truly belong. Through inspiring speakers, live worship music, games, breakout sessions, Adoration and Mass with Bishop Eusebio Elizondo, this day offers an opportunity to be renewed and encouraged in your faith.

This year’s theme, Never Alone, reminds you that you are known, loved and drawn into the heart of Jesus as you are sent forth to live your faith with purpose.
