Teen Registration

Ignite is a one-day Catholic youth retreat designed to ignite the hearts of teens with a deeper love for Jesus Christ and a clearer understanding of their identity as missionary disciples. Rooted in prayer, the sacraments, joyful worship, and authentic formation, the conference invites young people to encounter Christ personally and learn how to live their faith boldly in everyday life.

This conference is open to all teens (8th to 12th grade) who are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation, as well as other teens seeking to grow in their relationship with Christ. Through engaging talks, interactive breakout sessions, communal prayer, Holy Mass, and Eucharistic Adoration, participants are led through the core truths of the Catholic faith and encouraged to respond to God’s call with confidence and joy.

This conference is sponsored by Holy Family of Nazareth Catholic Church and is guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church, with a strong emphasis on the Eucharist as the source and summit of Christian life. The program is intentionally structured to support ongoing faith formation, sacramental preparation, and missionary discipleship among youth.

This Conference fully adheres to the Diocese of Dallas Safe Environment policies and safety protocols. All clergy, staff, volunteers, and adult leaders involved in the retreat are compliant with diocesan requirements, and appropriate supervision, safeguarding practices, and emergency procedures are in place to ensure a safe, respectful, and faith-filled environment for all participants.
