Question 4

What is the theme of the Gala?

Accepted Answer

The theme this year is Grateful to Gather. President Russell M. Nelson recently said, "May we be ever grateful for the privilege and trust the Lord has bestowed upon us as we gather to the Savior, gather with the Saints, and gather in His service." We hope that as we approach the season of Thanksgiving, we may gather as YSAs and followers of Christ to connect spiritually and socially.
