Nightwatch

The Diocese of New Jersey’s Youth Ministry is organizing participation in the Nightwatch program at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City in 2025. Registration is now open for this event!

In order to take advantage of a diocesan financial subsidy, please register by January 20!

Nightwatch is an evening spent in the world’s largest Gothic Cathedral immersed in a faith-based program to deepen your spiritual connection with God.

During the evening, we experience community building, workshops, exploration of the Cathedral through interactive activities, candlelight meditation, music, writing, and a labyrinth walk. This powerful program closes with a shared Eucharist. Participants stay overnight sleeping in the undercroft of the Cathedral.

The cost per person is $150. The Diocese will contribute $50 towards this, and we invite congregations to consider a further subsidy to make this opportunity accessible for those youth (middle and high school) who wish to attend, and the adults who support this ministry.
