The frequency of DTS meetings vary based upon the schedule of the individual parish where a chapter exists. DTS meetings are most frequently held once per week. Many chapters meet every other week and some meet once per month. Chapters that meet only once per month do experience greater challenges in creating a community and in keeping a momentum going. DTS chapters meet on the night of the week and time that is best for the parish where it is held. Some groups meet year ‘round while many meet from September/October and go till April/May. The summer is often used for pilgrimages and retreats under the auspices of the parish youth program. Many chapters officially take a break in the summer and its members replace the usual meeting time for an hour of Eucharistic Adoration. This is highly encouraged.
