Graduate Student, Theology
"My hope for the YTI is that the students come
with an open mind and heart. I pray that
our week together may allow them to become
aware of God's love already at work in them
and their communities."

Genesis Arocho
Graduate Student, Theology
"My hope for this institute is to start a conversation
with the teens about the "bigger picture" - whatever
that means to them. And to also continue this
conversation back at their schools and parishes,
and to also encourage their peers to do the same."

"I hope that everyone at the Youth Theology
Institute learns more about themselves and are
able to take and use what they learned in
their high schools and parishes. Hopefully they
make some new friends and have fun through-
out their experience!"

Melissa Cedillo
Undergraduate Student, Theology
"My hope for those participating in the YTI is that
they are able to dig deeper and ask the questions
that matter - religion, social justice, and culture -
should always be questioned to allow us to
grow."
