Happening is a weekend event for
youth in grades 10-12 which is focused on encountering Christ within community
and learning how to strengthen our relationship with Christ and each other. The
weekend is structured on a program which is governed by the National Happening
Committee. Each diocese with a Happening program develops its own local flavor
and traditions. Each weekend is basically the same program, with variations due
to the individuals who make up the team. One only “makes” one Happening
weekend, but can participate as a team member on subsequent weekends.
The
Happening Committee, which is a sub-committee of the DYLC, oversees these
weekends. Those serving on this committee, youth and adults, must have attended
a Happening weekend. The Rector and Big Brother/Big Sister and the most recent
past and future youth and adult leadership are members of this committee. This
committee meets before each weekend to select leadership for the next event and
to evaluate the previous event. They also make policy decisions and set dates
for subsequent meetings, weekends, reunions and staff training days.
