AN EVENING OF PRAYER AND DIALOGUE WITH CARDINAL PAROLIN

High school youth and young adults (18-35) from across Silicon Valley are invited to a rare and historic encounter with His Eminence Pietro Cardinal Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See. As the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Parolin is the second-highest-ranking official at the Vatican after the Pope. He serves as one of the Holy Father’s closest collaborators and plays a central role in the Church’s diplomatic and international affairs. During this special evening, youth and young adults will have the opportunity to hear directly from Cardinal Parolin as he responds to questions from our own youth and young adults. The evening will also include praise and worship, Scripture, prayer, a final message from Cardinal Parolin, and a blessing. Sunday, September 27, 2026 Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph80 S.
