Common Questions/Things You Should Know
What is the Rally?
The rally is a day-long event for youth in grades 6-12 from all over the diocese to come together for a day of faith, fun and fellowship. The day features a wonderful keynote speaker, Steve Angrisano. The Rally will have music, food, energetic worship and other various activities throughout the day. It is a great time for all who come. ??
Where is the Rally?
The rally will be held at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines in 2011. This will be a part of the much bigger celebration the Diocese will be hosting for the 100 year birthday of its great existence. This is an event that shouldn't be missed.??
Who is Steve Angrisano?
Steve Angrisano is undoubtedly one of the most effective and versatile ministry leaders in the Church today. Those who are young (and young at heart) embrace the passionate message of faith, hope and love woven throughout his music and storytelling. Always rooted in a spirit of humility and faithfulness, Steve has a keen intuition regarding the needs of any audience and engages them with his unique blend of humor, song, story and interaction.??

How much does it cost and what is included in the cost?
Well it costs ONLY $15 this year. That will include your lunch and a t-Shirt if you register before October 21.
How do I register?
Contact your parish Youth Minister, if you have one, for registration details. If your parish isn’t organizing a group to come to the Youth Rally, don’t worry, we’re excited to have you join us. You can register at http://www.dmdiocese.org/100.cfm or call 515-309-1936 or email office@stmcenter.com??
What should I wear?
Clothes! For sure modest clothes. Wear something comfortable. Although we are going to celebrate with Mass, you don’t need to wear your Sunday finest on the outside. Bring your Sunday finest on the inside and we will call it good. Just be comfortable. I would consider bringing a coat or sweatshirt as it may be cold.
??When do we eat?
The lunch will be scheduled for lunch time. So it will be awhile after the start of the day. So make sure you bring a snack for the ride or for one of the breaks. We don’t want hungry peeps. That leads to distracted minds.??
Should I bring more money?
You can if you want to. Steve will have some merchandise for sale. There are pop machines if you are into that, and there may be a few other vendors as well. So you can bring some extra cash.. A little bit of money is fine.??
Directions?
Use Google maps or Mapquest. They give as good of directions as any. Iowa Events Center is what you will be looking for. The day will begin at Polk Co. Convention Complex – 501 Grand Ave., Des Moines. We will end at Hy-Vee Hall – 730 3rd St.
Where do I park?
Parking will be available at the city garages for a small fee or on the surrounding streets at no charge. Bus parking will be available. Drivers should drop the participants at the Polk County Convention Center on the 5th Ave. side. You will then be directed as to where to park the bus. Pick up will be at Hy-Vee Hall on 3rd St.
