2 Opening Prayer Our Lady of Guadalupe, we turn to you who are the protectress of unborn children and ask that you intercede for us, so that we may more firmly resolve to join you in protecting all human life. Let our prayers be united to your perpetual motherly intercession on behalf of those whose lives are threatened, be they in the womb of their mother, on the bed of infirmity, or in the latter years of their life. May our prayers also be coupled with peaceful action which witnesses to the goodness and dignity of all human life, so that our firmness of purpose may give courage to those who are fearful and bring light to those who are blinded by sin. Encourage those who will be involved in the Youth Rally & Mass for Life and the national March for Life; help them to walk closely with God and be strengthened by His Spirit. O Virgin Mother of God, present our petitions to your Son and ask Him to bless us with abundant life. Amen.

4 Youth Rally and Mass for Life Inspiring, evangelizing and catechizing 28,000 teens on the morning of the National March!
5 The Youth Rally & Mass for Life Then and Now
6 History of Youth Rally & Mass for Life 1. The event began in 1990 at one location (Constitution Hall) starting with 1000 attendees eventually growing to It was initially an effort to encourage the parishioners from DC to participate in the annual National March for Life. 2. In 1995, inspired by the World Youth Day activities in Denver, CO, the Rally and Mass was promoted as an event for the youth of the Archdiocese of Washington 3. When the event moved to the Verizon Center, the largest single enclosed arena space in DC, we began inviting youth from around the nation. This coming year will be our thirteenth year at this location. 4. For the last five years, we have hosted simultaneous events to address growing capacity needs.
7 2016 Youth Rally & Mass for Life 1. Two amazing venues again this year Verizon Center and DC Armory! a. Maximum capacity of the Verizon Center = approximately 18,000 seats b. Maximum capacity of the DC Armory = 10,000 seats c. Verizon Center + DC Armory = 28,000 max 2. Each year, over 35,000 young people seek tickets for the Youth Rally... and the numbers continue to grow! 3. Due to the popularity of the event it is not possible for every teen to get in. We continue to look for ways to expand (i.e. Comcast) but there are a limited number of venues within a reasonable distance. 4. To maximize the number of teens who can attend we ask that tickets be limited to teens and chaperones.
8 Evangelization & Catechetical Goals 1. Provide an opportunity for the youth to see and experience the breadth and depth of the Catholic community in our nation and in particular the other youth standing for life from across the nation 2. Catechize youth on the sanctity of human life 3. Foster a greater appreciation for the teachings of our Church especially in the area of the life issues 4. Encourage our youth in their witness as disciples of Christ in the world and the importance of transforming our society through faith-informed action 5. Teach the youth the power of prayer and the importance of the Mass in our lives as Catholics 6. Foster vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life
9 Role of Archdiocese of Washington Staff, Local Diocesan Coordinators and Youth Ministers.
10 Archdiocese of Washington Staff Plan and host a joyful, youthful witness to the dignity of life! Provide training and support to over 100 diocesan liaisons. Allocate tickets to each diocese. Supply Child Protection Forms and Use of Image Waivers. Answer additional questions regarding the event
11 Role of Diocesan Coordinator 1. Inspire, motivate and communicate with the youth ministers and adult leaders from your diocese 2. Communicate with the Archdiocese of Washington Department of Life Issues 3. Make key decisions a. Centralized trip or Decentralized Trip b. Waiting List Procedure 4. Determine the number of tickets needed, submit request and plan for waiting list needs. Upon receipt of allocated tickets, carefully distribute all tickets to ensure as many youth as possible can participate. 5. Ensure compliance with child protection policies and Use of Image Waivers 6. Provide regular updates to your Bishop 7. Read through all materials as you receive them and ensure that ALL important details are communicated to your trip leaders in a timely manner. ** We re always here as a resource Call anytime! **
12 Role of Youth Leader 1. Inspire, motivate and lead the teens 2. Communicate with the diocesan liaison and submit ticket requests within the appointed deadlines 3. Organize the trip on the parish level to ensure a safe trip and compliance with child protection policies 4. Carefully handle tickets and bring them the day of the event. 5. Provide regular updates to pastor 6. Prepare youth for a fruitful and powerful trip throughout the time leading up to the trip.
13 Ticketing Process Overview
14 Overview of Main Steps 1. Determine Trip Centralized or Decentralized. 2. Decide on a registration plan, prepare materials and set deadlines. 3. Contact youth leaders in your parishes and schools. a. Keep in mind unique groups in your diocese that may also want tickets; such as, Eastern Rite Catholic groups, religious communities who minister to youth, Catholic fraternal organizations, etc. 4. Determine how many tickets your diocese will request. 5. Plan for distribution/waiting list. 6. Distribute tickets/ensure all allotted tickets are used.
15 Determine Trip
16 Trips Two Types 1. Centralized trip a. (Arch)diocese plans the trip, rents buses, secures lodging and coordinates the agenda, meals, etc. b. Please remember: Even with a centralized trip, you are responsible for requesting tickets for those groups in your diocese that are not traveling with your group. Groups who call us for information will be directed to the appropriate diocesan liaison. 2. Decentralized trip a. Individual parishes and schools organize their own trip (travel, lodging, etc) b. Diocesan liaison simply requests tickets and send information to parish/school groups and fields questions. There is no preferred way do whatever serves your diocese best.
17 Centralized, diocesan-organized trip? Your diocese will likely have an idea of how many tickets you need based on the number of buses you have hired and/or previous registration. Contact all schools and parishes to inform them of the process. In the event that they choose not to be part of the centralized trip they will still need to request tickets from you. Requests for tickets can occur simultaneously with registration for the entire trip. Keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that you will receive the number of tickets that you request.
18 Decentralized Trip If your diocese is not organizing a trip, then your first step will be to determine how many tickets you will need to request. How many students have your parishes and schools taken in previous years? How many do they estimate they will bring this year? Begin this discussion with your parishes and schools now! Although you are not planning their trip, there is still a great deal of communication that will need to take place between you and the group leaders.
19 Decide on registration plan, prepare materials and set deadlines
20 Decide on Registration process 1. Set Registration - All groups are given a specific time period when registration will be taking place a. Each group has an equal opportunity to register this is especially helpful if tickets will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis (this only applies if you do not receive your full allotment of tickets). b. There are many easy to use programs available to help with this process: i. Eventbrite ii. Zoomerang iii. Other websites you may use for newsletters, etc. (icontact, Constant Contact) 2. Develop waiting list policy This becomes more critical if you do not receive the full amount of tickets that you requested. Groups who don t receive tickets may still have the opportunity to attend when others have unexpected cancellations. a. This also ensures that you do not have unused tickets and as many youth as possible are able to enjoy the Youth Rally and Mass! b. Waiting list options First-come, first-served distribution; Rotating Prioritization; Percentage based - Distribute tickets according to a percentage where everyone gets some; other options?
21 Set Deadlines Ticket requests are due to the Archdiocese of Washington no later than Friday, October 9 th. Requests can be submitted beginning on October 5 th. Set a deadline for your groups (in advance of October 5 th ) that will give you enough time to determine the number of tickets you will need to request.
22 Prepare materials Sample letters can be found online Please be sure that you personalize your letter! Insert your name, diocese, etc. Ensure that the letter includes: Deadline & details for registration Waiting list details (first-come, first-served, rotating prioritization, percentage based, etc) Links/tools to register Remind them that registration with you does not guarantee tickets Inform them that the location of your groups tickets (Verizon, DC Armory) will be confirmed no later than early November
23 Forms
24 Accommodations within ADW Parishes and Child Protection Update If you stay in a parish/school in the Archdiocese of Washington 1. Every adult traveling with your group must be in compliance with your own diocesan child protection program 2. A notarized form signed by your diocesan child protection officer is required verifying compliance with your own diocesan policies for every adult seeking accommodations. 3. Youth leaders who do not have the notarized form indicating the adults with the group are in compliance with their own child protection policies will be denied entry into the parish for overnight lodging. There will be no exceptions.
25 Use of Image Waiver Acceptance of a ticket for the Youth Rally and Mass for Life grants the Archdiocese of Washington permission to use any image and likeness in any television broadcast, photograph, video, internet site, audio-recording, and in any and all of its publications, including website entries (collectively promotional materials ) without payment or any other consideration. Please require and collect a signed Use of Image Waiver from each participant, or, if the participant is a minor, from each minor participant s parent/guardian, with the language included on the enclosed form. Each group leader must return to ADW one form stating that you are in possession of a sheet for each individual in the group after each ticket holder has returned his/her waiver to you. Do not send a form for each individual Forms for you and your group can be found online.
26 Metro Tickets Groups with tickets to the DC Armory will need to purchase Metro tickets in advance. Metro ticket purchase forms will be sent with your tickets to the DC Armory. Please be sure that your groups order tickets for the metro ahead of time, this greatly cuts down on lines and waiting time the day of the event. More information can be found at:
27 Contact Youth Leaders
28 Send Information Be sure to send the information about requesting tickets to all youth leaders in your diocese especially those not traveling with your centralized trip. You will be contacted no later than early November with a confirmation of the actual number of tickets your diocese has been allotted and which venue your group will be attending.
29 Supporting and Informing Youth Leaders 1. Simply mailing or ing the materials may not be the most effective way to communicate you know your people and your diocese, use what works! 2. Consider inviting Youth Leaders to an inperson meeting or hosting your own webinar a. Pray together for the end of abortion and for the success of the event b. Review how the trip will occur and the opportunity to inspire and motivate teens c. Thank them for their hard work!
30 Communication After Ticket Allotment There is still a lot of important information once registration has been completed stay tuned! You are an important part of this process and your dedication to timely and effective communication with the Youth Leaders helps us tremendously! What to do with questions from youth leaders? Personalize all communication that is coming from your office.
31 As you are communicating with youth leaders keep in mind! Media Outreach & Credentials Our Communications office is always looking for good stories regarding groups traveling to the Youth Rally and national March. Please submit stories to: or If your diocesan newspaper or other local media outlets would like to participate in the Youth Rally, they must contact the Communications office prior to January 15 th for information on credentialing.
32 Stay Connected 1. Information at 2. Post your ideas on Facebook! 3. Encourage youth to make videos and use social media to evangelize their peers! 4. Twitter: #istand4life and #mass4life. Help us make the Gospel of Life go viral!!
33 Determine the number of tickets you will request
34 Decision Chart How many tickets do you need? Centralized trip? Yes Centralized trip? No Contact parishes and schools and ask them to submit the number of tickets they will require. Based on requests and/or bus seat availability, determine how many tickets you will request. Determine how many tickets you will need based upon number requested. Submit ticket request to the Department of Life Issues no later than October 9th
35 Ticket Request 1. Do not overestimate the number of tickets that you need! Tickets not used by your group will prevent other young people from attending! 2. Tickets to particular venues will be given out on a rotating basis (Verizon then Armory, etc) 3. We can not guarantee that you will receive the number of tickets that you request. 4. Upon determining the number of tickets you will request, submit that number to the Archdiocese of Washington. A password will be ed to Diocesan Liaisons
36 Remember! This step is a REQUEST for tickets NOT an actual order. Requests received after October 9 th will not receive an allotment but may be placed on a waiting list You will be contacted no later than early November with the actual number of tickets your group will receive. Your numbers may very well be cut. Ticket requests will not be considered in the order received, therefore please take your time and ensure that you have the most accurate count possible.
37 FAQ s Do we need to include priests or deacons in our ticket numbers? What about sisters or other religious? Seminarians? Can you assist us in finding lodging?
38 Distribution Plan
39 How will you distribute the tickets? Received all requested tickets? Yes Received all requested tickets? No Upon receipt of tickets, distribute to parishes and schools or hand out tickets on the bus. Distribute tickets to groups in the manner you previously determined (first come, etc). *You may want to ask the youth leaders to give you another count in case their numbers have decreased. Distribute tickets to those on your waiting list in the event of cancellations. Please help us to ensure that all tickets are used! If you have unused tickets that you are unable to distribute, please return them to the Archdiocese of Washington Department of Life Issues.
40 Distribution 1. You will be contacted with your ticket allotment no later than early November 2. Your tickets will arrive no later than early December 3. When you receive your tickets: a. Important details will be sent to you with your tickets b. Please ensure that all group leaders have details on entering the building and traveling in the city the morning of the Youth Rally and Mass and National March. This information will be sent with the tickets. c. Additional information will be posted at
41 Important Reminders We can not guarantee that you will receive the number of tickets you request. Do not overestimate! Please give us the number of any special needs seating that you may need! It is your responsibility to make sure that all of your tickets are distributed. Do NOT throw away extra tickets. Please use your waiting list to distribute them. In the event, that there are unused tickets, please return them to us as soon as possible!
