Saint Meinrad School of Theology’s Youth Liturgical Leadership Program (YLLP) will host three five-day conferences this summer for high school youth and their adult leaders. The conferences focus on catechesis, liturgical and spiritual formation, and identifying the strengths of a Catholic community. About 400 participants are expected for the “ One Bread, One Cup” conferences.

College students from around the nation and world assist at YLLP as part of the College Ministerial Internship Program. These interns also attend classes in theology, spirituality and human formation while living and praying in an intentional community throughout the summer.

The Raven Academy is a special session of the “One Bread, One Cup” conferences for returning high school participants. The teens attend mini-classes on Catholic identity and Church teaching.

Saint Meinrad School of Theology believes that young Catholics are members of Christ’s body and have unique gifts that the church needs. When you offer these gifts for God's service, it is ministry.
