A 4-day experience where young adults are empowered to live out the mission of Jesus
"Come and see."
Whatever you're looking for, Jesus invites you to find the answers to your questions in Him.
The Empower Conference is not just designed to bring people together; it is designed to send people out. It is a time to be renewed in your relationship with the Lord so that you can return ready for the mission He has for you.
Gather
Connect with a community who is chasing after the Lord together! Share stories, process together, eat some delicious food (nacho bar, anyone?) and take on some friendly competition.
Glorify
Open your heart to God with daily Mass, Adoration, and extended times of praise and worship.
Go
Inspiring keynotes & practical breakout sessions empower you to grow in your identity in the Father, authority in the Son, and mission in the Holy Spirit.
