The third Youth Jubilee Adoration Night in the Diocese took place March 22, at St. Patrick Parish in Sarasota. Youth from across Sarasota County, including Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School took part in group Eucharistic Adoration as part of the Jubilee Year 2025. Earlier Youth Jubilee Adoration Nights took place Jan. 16, at St. Agnes Parish in Naples and Jan. 31, at St. Andrew Parish in Cape Coral.
At St. Patrick Parish, the guest speaker was Father Alan Baldarelli, Parochial Vicar at Our Lady of the Angels Parish in Lakewood Ranch, who encouraged the youth to become true “Pilgrims of Hope” by using the gifts given to them by God to carry the message of the Lord to others.
The evening also include prayer, music, and the opportunity to take part in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, all before concluding with Benediction. While the Youth Jubilee Adoration Nights are geared toward younger Catholics, with youth-centric music and talks, but all are welcome. Each Adoration Night is 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The final opportunity to participate is: Friday, May 2, St. Paul Parish, 1330 E. Oak. St., Arcadia. There is no cost to attend, but registration is requested at https://dioceseofvenice.regfox.com/jubilee-2025-adoration-nights-.
