City of Saints: Aug. 3

City of Saints: Aug. 3–5

City of Saints is a Catholic teen conference hosted by Archbishop José Gomez and the Youth Ministry Division of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. This three-day event is an awesome local opportunity for young people to deepen their relationship with Jesus. The conference features dynamic speakers, diverse liturgical experiences, music, interactive exhibits, opportunities to receive the sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation, and more. All of this is set in an atmosphere where teens can learn and experience the beauty of the Catholic faith with its rich symbols and traditions.

The name “City of Saints” reminds us that we live in a city named after the Saints. Los Angeles, Santa Monica, San Pedro, San Fernando, Santa Barbara and so many others are all named after these extraordinarily holy people. This conference will help young people express this sainthood in their everyday lives, realizing that sainthood is obtainable and for everybody. Young people will be inspired to go back to the places they are from to form a city of saints.
