Ignite Your Faith to the Way

with Fr. Nick Vanderbroeke and Evening Program with Michael Hoffman

Today more than ever Catholic young people are being challenged to live their faith LOUD! But what does that mean? What does Jesus mean when He says He is “The Way, The Truth and The Life”? Our Catholic faith is meant to be a lifestyle, not just a nametag!

In this interactive and very fun session the father-daughter team of Michael and Ali will uncover what it means to truly ignite our faith in ways that will bring our Lord closer and bring focus to the promises and the style of The Way in our own lives. We are the living Church and we are called to reflect the light to a world in need. Come get ignited!

Join a thousand Catholic young people from across the Twin Cities as we launch our new season of Lifeline. Our special guest is Michael Hoffman. Michael is a popular speaker from Dallas who has spoken to thousands throughout the United States and beyond!

At Whose Altar Do You Worship?

with Fr. Michael Schmitz for Mass & Evening Program

Our idols are the things we love, serve and obey. They are what occupy our time, attention and affection. “Who” or “what” holds your heart?

St. Augustine puts it this way: “Everyone loves something…the question is ‘what to love?’” Here is a talk that will reveal the secret god that we serve.

Fr. Mike Schmitz is the Director of Youth and Young Adults in the Diocese of Duluth. His zeal for God, passion for Truth and love for the Church, equip him to preach and teach in a way that can change your life. He serves as Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of Duluth.

Dynamic Breakouts

Mass & Evening Program with Fr. Brian Park

Start your faith off in this brand new year and join Catholic young people from the Twin Cities and beyond for this outstanding night! Plan on an awesome night with dynamic music with SONAR, a spirit-filled celebration of Mass with Fr. Brian Park, challenging breakouts for young men and women…and the ministry of the 2013-14 NET teams!

Breakouts include:
• “The Heroic Rebellion” (For High School Men Only with Richard Carrillo)

In a world where men are looking for a cause to fight for and a chance to go against the grain to do something great, many men don’t see becoming a man of faith as a means to that end. Richard will be talking about the true battle men face today and how to become to true heroes the world is desperate for. It is time for men to stand up and fight and join the true heroic rebellion.

• “I Still Will Come to You: A Woman’s Choice” (For High School Women Only with Jenna Zins)
Young women face so many choices and pressures today. It can be overwhelming to say the least. How does a young Catholic woman make the right choice in every situation? How can we figure out how to choose Jesus in small and big moments? Based on words from St. Alphonsus, you will discover what an individual relationship with Jesus looks like.

The Call of a Lifetime

with Bishop Lee Piche

The time is now as the modern world awaits the emergence of a handful of spiritual heroes and heroines who will serve the Church as priests, religious sisters, and religious brothers.

The question is not “will God raise up great women and men for the Church’s mission,” but “who will God raise up?” And the answer is: those you least expect.

With us for this great evening is our very special guest, Bishop Lee Piche of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. We also welcome Fr. Troy Pryzbilla, Vocations Director for the Archdiocese, as well as a great team of priests, religious sisters, and religious brothers.

The Four Last Things: Heaven, Hell, Death & Judgment

with Fr. Michael Schmitz

How could a good God allow people to go to Hell? What do you have to do to get to Heaven? What happens after you die? Are you in a place to stand before Goodness Himself and stay on your feet? What will Heaven be like?

The truth of the matter is that everyone is going somewhere – we’re all traveling from place to place, we have our mini-destination. But what is your ultimate destination?

Get the straight answers from Fr. Mike Schmitz, Director of Youth and Young Adults, from the Diocese of Duluth. In a style all his own, Fr. Mike will dynamically break open the truth and meaning of these realities and what they mean for our ultimate destination.

Fr. Mike Schmitz from the Diocese of Duluth joins us for this night you don’t want to miss. With a zeal for the faith and gift of teaching, Fr. Mike will share solid truths that can empower and equip you with all that you will face for years to come.

Tickets required. Information to come soon.

A Night of Praise & Worship

with Fr. Andrew Cozzens and SONAR

Worship and praise of God. It’s at the heart of our Catholic faith. We are called to worship God and Scripture teaches us to praise Him at all times. But what is worship? Why do we worship? Why would I want to worship? How do I give God my authentic praise and worship? Will this really make a difference in my life?

If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, or if you’re wondering why your faith life may be in “neutral” or grown lukewarm, or if you are looking for an authentic time of praise and worship of our great and mighty God, don’t miss this powerful night.

Fr. Andrew Cozzens is a popular youth and conference speaker who teaches at the St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul. His zeal, humor and joy in the faith are matched by his passion and pursuit of understanding and teaching it. He and SONAR will lead this awesome night.
