Priests in Concert – a band consisting of a group of young priests of The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington – will perform a fundraiser on Friday, July 21 at 7 p.m. St. Mary of the Mills Church in Laurel, Maryland.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington youth who will travel to Portugal for World Youth Day with Pope Francis from Aug. 1-6.

All of the members of Priests in Concert attended the Redemptoris Mater Seminary and are members of the Neocatechumenal Way, a Catholic movement that sends out families and the priests from its seminaries to evangelize and spread the Catholic faith.

Event organizer Father Daniele Rebeggiani, a secretary at the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, D.C., estimated that around 500 people from The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington will travel to Portugal for World Youth Day.
