Archbishop Carlson exhorts youth to read the Gospel

Posted on July 12, 2010 - 10:54am

Archbishop Carlson delivered a homily to over 3,100 teens during the first weekend of the Steubenville conference.In his homily to the teens attending the first weekend of the Steubenville St. Louis Mid-America youth conference on Sunday, Archbishop Robert J. Carlson exhorted the youth to discover Christ through reading the Gospels. He said "read five verses of the Gospel of John each day for thirty days. If, at the end of the thirty days you don't know Christ, write to me, and I will give you ten dollars."

He urged the youth present to read the Bible, to know Christ, and to discover their calling in life. His homily was heard by 3,100 teens, in addition to chaperones, youth ministers, and volunteers helping at the conference. Also in attendance were over 30 priests and many seminarians from St. Louis and other midwestern dioceses.

The Catholic Youth Apostolate's Office of Youth Ministry held its largest Steubenville conference ever this past weekend, and they will hold another similarly-sized conference next weekend, on the campus of Missouri State University. The OYM has a live blog for the event, and you can also follow events on their Facebook page, and under the Twitter hashtag #steubystl.

All the photos from the first weekend of the conference can be viewed in this Office of Youth Ministry Flickr collection.

Congratulations to the many former CYC players who earned High School State Championships this spring in the state of Missouri.  There are too many players to mention their names individually, but click here to visit the CYC Sports website and see the list of Catholic schools that advanced to the final games in their respective sports...

The CYC is proud of not only state champions, high school athletes, but all our athletes that participate at the grade school level, whether they continue to play in high school or not.  Plus we would like to thank all the coaches, managers, officials and administrators, that volunteer their time to make CYC sports such a positive experience for all our young athletes.
