MADISON — The Xavier Mission Team, an evangelization team serving the youth of the Diocese of Madison, is back in action and coming to a parish near you.
This year, the team will be hosting seven Middle School HYPE Nights in regional locations across the diocese.
HYPE Nights are a one night, epic fun event for sixth to eighth grade students that include games, inspirational talks, lots of energy, and intentional time in prayer.
They offer middle schoolers a chance to encounter Christ through the witness of enthusiastic young adults.
Free, fun, and faith-filled
After a HYPE Night in Cuba City this past year, St. Rose School Principal Karrie Steinhart said, “The team was incredible! I appreciate their kindness, organization, the way they work together, and their faithfulness that is very evident. Thank you so much for offering this opportunity.”
A teen from Cuba City also commented, “Thank you Miss Steinhart for asking those people to come on Wednesday night. It was really fun and I really got a lot out of it!”
Middle School HYPE Nights are free, and teens can attend as individuals or with a group from their parish.
HYPE Nights are on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
If you or someone you know is interested in attending a Middle School HYPE Night, contact your local parish religious education coordinator or Caroline Locke at caroline.locke@madisondiocese.org for more information.
