What is the Shine Rally?
The 5-8th grade diocesan-wide Shine Rally has been around since 1996. The late Deacon Ken Baldwin had a desire to create an event that appealed to middle school students and drew their attention to Jesus. It is an awesome day of speakers, music, games, skits, food, and faith.
It is has changed a lot over the years, moving to bigger and better venues. Now it is at the end of March at the 3 Mile Project.
