The Archdiocesan Youth Leadership Team (AYLT) is made up of gifted young people chosen from around The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington. These youth have been recognized by their parishes and the Archdiocese as evangelizers of our faith and active witnesses to the love of Jesus Christ! AYLT represents the youth of our Archdiocese on a diocesan and national level, plays key roles in the Youth Mass of Celebration & Thanksgiving, and assists in planning youth activities across the ADW, including the LITE Retreat.
With the Eucharist at its center, LITE calls and empowers youth to not only become Disciples of Christ but to share that call with their peers. Based on relational/interactive youth ministry principles, youth are formed through peer led interactive learning experiences, presentations, and small groups.
