XLT (exalt) is a night where teens from different parishes come together for an intense night of prayer and worship. The night is divided into three parts:

1. Praise and Worship
2. Preaching
3. Adoration

XLT began in Atlanta, Georgia under the leadership of veteran youth minister Paul George. Paul knew that teens needed to grow in understanding and appreciation for the Eucharist. Soon there were hundreds of teens from around the city coming together for XLT. Now there are several cities doing XLT.
