Diocesan Youth BASH

BASH is the Diocese of Arlington’s largest gathering of Catholic middle school students (6th-8th graders) every year! This event is a celebration of our Catholic faith and love of the Lord. Join hundreds of middle school students to gather for an evening of faith, fellowship, and fun!

This event includes music, games, inspirational speakers, confessions, and a Vigil Mass for Sunday, with Bishop Burbidge as the principal celebrant. BASH is designed to be open to any Middle School aged youth that want to attend, so please encourage and invite your child to participate in the life of the Catholic Church!

Saturday, May TBD, 2026 at Bishop O’Connell High School, Arlington, VA.
