    VYC 2024 with Young Adult Leaders

    VYC 2024 with Young Adult Leaders

    Each summer, the Viatorians hold the Viatorian Youth Congress. VYC is a four-day leadership and faith formation retreat for teens from our parishes and schools. This time together is focused on prayer, Eucharist, and service, and learning to identify God's ongoing invitations and discern a response. We send our youth back to their home communities as Viatorian Youth Leaders who have discerned a response to God's invitations. Here, two of our trained veteran young adult leaders, Milly Colbert and Trevor Lyon, share a bit more about what makes VYC distinct, Viatorian, and impactful, ahead of leading VYC 2024. (This episode debuted June 3, 2024.)
