Hundreds of Young Catholics to be Celebrated at 2025 Bishop’s Youth Award Masses
This year’s Bishop’s Youth Award Masses at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Scranton, will joyfully celebrate 515 young people from parishes across the diocese who embody Bishop Bambera’s call to be servant leaders in the Church today!
Due to the extraordinary number of award recipients, the youth will be celebrated at 3 Masses by region. Each Mass begins at 2:30 pm and is televised on CTV:
March 23rd (Eastern & Western regions), March 30th (Southern region) and April 6th (Northern region).
Please join us in congratulating and praying for these individuals as they continue to grow deeper in relationship with God and their communities.
