Mass Hysteria is our 5-day, half-day summer program for incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.
The goal of Mass Hysteria is to help our youth to enter into a deeper understanding of the Mass and love for Jesus, which in turn leads them to a more full, conscious, and active participation in the Mass.
There are different themes each year that highlight a specific aspect of the Mass. Each theme is unpacked through four different unique days. Each day consists of daily Mass, music, food, games, talks, activities, and prayer.
Year A: Re-Vision
Year B: God With Us
Year C: Heroic Sacrifice
By the end of the week, students understand more deeply what is happening at Mass and have been led to encounter Jesus more intimately in prayer, which opens their hearts to better worship and receive Him at Mass.
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!!
During this adventurous and eye-opening week, you will be able to:
- discover what is really happening during the different parts of the Mass
- understand how personal and transformative the Mass
really is
- climb the heights and be face-to-face with Jesus in the flesh in Mass and Adoration,
- see our faith and the world differently
All while playing lots of fun games, singing great music, eating delicious food, hanging out with your friends in your small group, hearing from some great trailblazers of our faith, and so much more!!
