Wednesday Evening
Bible Study : Revelation

St. Carlo Acutis Room
Discover what the mysterious figures and images of Revelation mean and see how Revelation is more than an apocalyptic vision of the “end times.” Explore the Church’s teaching on the second coming of Christ and the Last Judgment. Understand how God, the Divine Bridegroom, and the Church, his spotless bride, enter into a heavenly, holy, and mystical marriage every time we celebrate Mass.

Night of Taizé
Wednesday, May 27th | after the 6pm Mass | Mary, Queen of Peace
For students, parents, workers, seekers, and anyone feeling weary, this is a place to pause, breathe, and be filled. You are invited to experience the quiet beauty of sacred music with simple chants sung together, reflect on Scripture, and enter extended silence for personal prayer. Spend time in evening Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, letting your heart rest in God’s presence. No experience is needed—come as you are and bring a friend. All are welcome to step away from the noise of daily life and find a moment of peace:
“Be still and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Signups are due by May 29th, and payment by June 19th. We have some donors who support youth formation. These funds will be used to cover the cost for chaperones and transportation, and to subsidize the fees for our youth. While the regular rate would be $375 per youth (based on rooms of 4), the subsidized fee for 2026 will be $300. The cost includes lodging, meals for the weekend, the conference fee, and a tshirt. Scholarships are available in cases of financial need. To sign up as a youth or chaperone, email youth@mqp.org.
LEAD is a leadership program during the week leading up to the Conference, July 6th - 10th. The cost is $450 and there are 20 spots available. Youth would need to make their own transportation plans to get to Spokane. The cost includes lodging and food for the week but does not cover the cost of Steubenville weekend.
