Nearly 1,400 teens and tweens gathered for 'friends, faith and food' at the Diocese of Arlington's 20th-annual 'BASH' event for middle school students, building a foundation for church involvement.
A group of nearly 1,400 Catholic middle school students from Northern Virginia spent a recent Saturday strengthening their faith, making new friends and enjoying fellowship — with the event's organizers believing the students are building a critical foundation for lifelong involvement in the church. The 20th-annual 'BASH' is the Diocese of Arlington's largest gathering for middle school-aged children. It was held on May 4, 2024, at Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington.
The Diocese of Arlington hopes that events like BASH — more than just a day of fun and a chance to meet the bishop — will serve to encourage teens and tweens to stay involved with their parishes as they grow into high school. 'It is kind of mind-blowing to me that all these kids would come to Mass on a Saturday and spend six hours here getting to meet the bishop.
