Register Now for Exciting Youth Events!
Dear Episcopal Diocese of Rochester Youth and Families,
After a long hiatus, we are excited to share that Diocesan Youth events are returning! We are in the planning stages of Roc the Diocese and Episcopal Youth Event. These events are both being offered for the first time in several years and they are fantastic opportunities to connect with other young people from around the Diocese and the wider Episcopal Church. Please read over this information as a family and register for these events if you are available. Do not hesitate to be in touch with any questions.

EYE is a gathering of Episcopal Youth from around the country and the world and each Diocese in the Episcopal Church is invited to bring a delegation of high school youth.This year's EYE is Tuesday, July 4-Saturday, July 8 at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. Throughout the week, participants attend workshops, a variety of fellowship activities, and opportunities for service. Worship at EYE is upbeat, loud, and great fun! Because this is a national event, the deadline for registering is Monday, March 27.
Thank you for taking the time to discuss these opportunities with your family! We hope to see many of you at Roc the Diocese and EYE!
