ATLEC Teen Track 2019

Living As A Eucharistic Missionary

Bring your middle school and high school youth (rising sixth to rising 12th-graders) to the Teen Track at the Eucharistic Congress (EC)! Join us for fellowship and prayer at the new Gateway Center Arena (where the G League Skyhawks play). This track will feature the wisdom and wit of Michael (Gomer) Gormley and the creative and faith-filled music of EPIC the Band! The track will encourage teens to be Eucharistic missionaries where they are and will culminate in a special time with our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration.

REGISTRATION IS BY GROUP ONLY.  THERE WILL BE NO INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATIONS.

PLEASE HAVE EACH OF YOUR CHAPERONES REGISTER INDIVIDUALLY AS A VOLUNTEER HERE BEFORE REGISTERING YOUR GROUP.

If you are an individual and would like to go to the Teen Track but your parish is not sending a group, please contact a neighboring parish or contact Elaine Phillips ephillips@archatl.com and she will help you find a group to go with.

ATLEC Vietnamese Track

Đại Hội Thánh Thể là cơ hội quý báu để các tín hữu học hỏi và cầu nguyện nhằm gia tăng lòng yêu mến đối với Chúa Giêsu, và sự hiện diện thực sự của Ngài nơi Bích Tích Thánh Thể. Sự kiện đặc biệt này quy tụ hàng ngàn người đến cử hành món quà vô cùng cao trọng của Chúa Giêsu đã ban tặng cho nhân loại như lời Ngài đã hứa “Thày sẽ ở cùng các con mọi ngày cho đến tận thế.”  Chương trình Đại Hội Thánh Thể được thực hiện bằng các ngôn ngữ khác nhau, trong đó có tiếng Việt để mọi người có thể tham dự trọn vẹn khi nghe các diễn giả trình bày bằng ngôn ngữ của riêng mình.

Esta sesión, junto con todas las demás de nuestro Congreso Eucarístico, tiene el propósito de crear una conexión más profunda con Jesús y su Presencia Real en la Eucaristía. Este evento es una reunión de miles de creyentes que celebra el enorme regalo de Jesucristo presente para nosotros como prometió que lo sería, “Hasta el fin de los tiempos”. Algunas sesiones, como esta, están configuradas para ser específicas a un idioma en particular, de modo que la diversa población de nuestra Iglesia local tenga acceso completo, en su idioma natal, a los oradores que están invitados a participar.
