Traveling Thirst Eucharistic Conference and Diocesan Youth Conference
The Diocesan Offices of Family Ministry and Catechesis and Youth are joining forces to bring the Thirst Eucharistic Conference (Thirst) and Diocesan Youth Conference (DYC) to YOU.
Going forward, Thirst and the DYC will be a combined, yearly, one-day event that will travel from deanery to deanery in which activities and breakouts for people of all ages will be offered free of charge. Thirst will no longer be a large three-day event every three years followed by a one-day Men’s Thirst and Women’s Thirst in the subsequent years. Instead, we plan to have Thirst travel throughout the Diocese from year to year in a single-day format that will include breakouts or “tracks” for people young to seasoned. By this new format, we hope to better partner and collaborate with local Parish leaders so as to best reach out, engage, enrich and evangelize the Catholic Faithful and not yet faithful located throughout the whole Bismarck Diocese.
We hope to proceed with Thirst 2022 in Dickinson, Thirst 2023 in Williston, Thirst 2024 in Minot, and then restart the rotation back in Bismarck/Mandan with Thirst 2025, all being held around the last weekend of October.
