Ushering in summer with a day of excitement and praise, registration is open for the annual New Jersey Catholic Youth Rally on May 18 at Six Flags Great Adventure.

The day includes access to rides, meal vouchers, and an evening Sunday Liturgy in the Batman Stunt Arena. Gates will open at 9 a.m. and participants are invited to an opening presentation at 9:45 in the Showcase Arena. Rides open at 10:30 a.m., and the day will close with 6 p.m. Mass.

“It’s the perfect event for Altar Servers, Scout troops, youth groups, youth Choirs, Religious Ed Families and more,” said Dan Waddington, diocesan director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries, who noted that the day is open to faithful of all of New Jersey’s five Catholic dioceses.

Full admission tickets are $70 per person, which includes a mega meal voucher and parking. Season passholders can enter the park with their pass and meal vouchers are available to purchase for $20. Pre-orders for parking vouchers are available through May 12, and admission tickets through May 14. Six Flags is a cashless facility; pre-ordering online is advised and will save time.
