World Youth Day 2011

  "Rooted and bWorld Youth Day 2011 logouilt up in Him and established in the faith" Col 2:7

The Office of Youth Ministry (OYM) has some new and exciting news about World Youth Day Madrid in 2011!  If you are just now hearing about it, you still have time to join us. On August 10th, 2011, the Office of Youth Ministry, specifically, Fr. Brian Fischer will be leading a group of young people to Spain for World Youth Day 2011. 

The theme for WYD 2011 is “Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith (Col 2:7)."  Christ constantly wants to draws us deeper, he always calls us to give more, to let go of our worldly distractions and to let our lives be transformed by His divine initiative of love.  A pilgrimage  like this can often help us to get refocused and re-connected to Christ in a less superficial and worldly way and become bold, radical, witnesses to the Catholic Church, the sign of Christ in the world!
