Marian Days is a special time for our Catholic community to come together in prayer, celebration, and connection — centered around Our Lady of La Vang, who appeared to offer comfort and strength to her people in a time of deep suffering. Her message of hope still speaks to us today.

That’s why we’re inviting all youth and young adults to be part of this track — a day filled with faith, fellowship, and fun. There will be inspiring speakers, time for worship and prayer, interactive booths, games, music, and plenty of moments to connect with others from all over the diocese and beyond.

Whether you’re new to Marian Days or you’ve been coming for years, this is a chance to grow deeper in your faith, build community, and experience the beauty of our Catholic Church.

Event Highlights

  • Dynamic speakers, worship, and prayer experiences
  • Youth and young adult programming
  • Ministry booths and a Catholic-themed carnival for the youth!
  • Fellowship with Catholic communities from across Southern California
  • Mass, Adoration, and devotion to Our Lady of La Vang
