Nightwatch

 

For more information, call 212-579-6210 or e-mail nightwatch@stjohndivine.org

Since 1975, this overnight program for high school and junior high school youth groups has hosted thousands of people of all ages for one or two exciting nights of fun, discovery and worship at an overnight stay inside the Cathedral. Every weekend from October through May, groups of up to 100 youth and adults attend this weekend experience in one of the world’s most magnificent cathedrals.

The standard Nightwatch program includes:
 
*            A chance for youth from different churches and denominations to meet one another in an atmosphere of games and music.
 
*            An opportunity to interact with a representative from one of the Cathedral's social, environmental or arts ministries
 
*            A demonstration of the great organ while Nightwatchers have the Cathedral to themselves. †
 
*            A candlelight meditation utilizing the vast Cathedral space, and a quality worship experience, celebrating the Eucharist at the high altar.
 
*            A daytime tour of the Cathedral, highlighting the story of the Cathedral as well as Christian tradition as it is embodied in the building.

Groups wishing to attend Nightwatch must mail in a registration form and deposit. We can only confirm a group once we have received the registration and deposit. The coming season will have two tiers.  FALL 2008 will offer Nightwatch at the same rates as past years.  From December through the end of the season, we will offer Nightwatches in the fully opened cathedral at a new price.  Both brochures contain information about the program, a calendar of when Nightwatches will be held, and a registration form.
