Why Rejoice?
More Than a Gap Year
Rejoice is a place to grow.

A place to expand your comfort zone and become the person God created you to be.
Over ten months, students from across Europe live together in Altötting and grow through five key pillars:
Worship
Build a deeper relationship with God through daily Mass, praise, adoration, prayer, and spiritual accompaniment.
Community
Live in an international community where friendships, support, and shared life become a source of growth and joy.
Formation
Grow in your understanding of faith, mission, discipleship, leadership, vocation, and personal development.
Mission
Travel across Europe, share your faith, and help others encounter God’s love through schools, parishes, events, and outreach projects.
Talents & Creativity
