The Diocesan Youth Conference is a highly energized and interactive gathering of youth from all over the diocese at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. The Diocesan Youth Conference is Friday, February 7-9, 2025. Holy Family would like to bring a delegation of teens (Grades 8-12) again this year.
The exciting news is that the keynote speaker is Oscar Rivera who spoke at our regional youth event in 2022. Oscar is a former youth minister at Saint Matthew in Virginia Beach and is now the Director of Youth Ministry for the Diocese of Fall River in Massachusetts.
