Nightwatch

 

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

Since 1975, this 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 the world's largest gothic cathedral.

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 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 2007-2008 brochure contains information about the program, a calendar of when Nightwatches will be held, and a registration form. To obtain a brochure, please CLICK HERE.

The recovery time and clean-up from the effects of the fire will impact some aspects of the Nightwatch program. We look forward to returning to the demonstration of the Great Organ when it is restored.
