Right now there are 7 high school ECYD teams in the Atlanta area, but that isn't enough if we are going to transform culture! Please reach out to me if you want more information on how to start a team (ntorrey@legionaries.org).
An ECYD member is an adolescent who makes a pledge of friendship with Christ:
Pledge of friendship
Jesus Christ, our Lord and King, we are happy because we are yours and because you have called us to share in the greatest and most beloved desires of your heart. In response to the love you have shown us, we come to pledge our friendship to you. We are yours, Lord, and yours we want to be. We offer our lives so that all people might know and love you; because we want you to reign in their hearts. By ourselves, Lord, we can do nothing; but we know that you are always with us. You also give us your Blessed Mother to be our mother too. In her presence and under her protection; we offer you, Lord, our youth and our fidelity.
