Save The New Date!

Dear GrACE Apostles,

After many conversations with those directly involved—and with feedback from schools, families and parishioners—it has become clear that the October 24, 2025 Youth Summit date is no longer feasible in light of the current labour disruption, even should the strike be brief.

With 450 participants and staff expected in person and another 350 joining online, the Summit depends on teacher and chaperone support. Those commitments simply cannot be secured at this time.

We are deeply grateful for the generous offers of help from families, parishes, and parishioners. Yet the Summit can only be delivered responsibly when there is stability and certainty in planning—conditions necessary for its true success.

For these reasons, GrACE has made the decision to postpone the Youth Summit to Friday, May 15, 2026. This date—the day after World Catholic Education Day—provides the strongest opportunity for full participation, shared witness, and lasting impact.

To all who had still hoped the Summit might proceed in October, thank you sincerely for your understanding. This decision has not been easy, but it is made to ensure the Summit’s fruitfulness for every participant.

GrACE remains profoundly grateful for the commitment of our Catholic school leaders, teachers, and communities. With hope, we now look forward to gathering on May 15, 2026, for a powerful Youth Summit.

Blessings and much love.

'Jesus, I trust in You'!

Kate
