NCYC 2015- Hope for our Church!

I had meant to ask you all to remember my kids and the 23,oo0 other young people attending this years National Catholic Youth Conference. It started on Friday - my son reached out and said it's been (his words-14 y/o) "awesome". They are learning their faith and see Jesus in adoration, confession, and the Mass. They see their priest, bishops, nuns and brothers.

I can get down sometimes on the future, but when I see and here this, I am restored. They are not the future of the Church- they are part of the Church today. Peace

 

Really edifying and indeed full of hope. God bless them all. Praying for them now. Thanks Miker

 

Several teens from our Church are there! They are supposed to give a testimonial after next week. I can't wait to hear. Our daughter is hoping to go in the next time.

 

AllyinNY- your daughter needs to go. Btw, you can see live streaming of event, including Mass tonight at following link:

My daughter is 14 and I have never heard of this.....I wish she could have gone.

 

Heidi - it's done every 2 years in Indy. Maybe suggest it to your parish? It's really worth it. And if you have time maybe watch live stream with your daughter tonight. I don't think you will regret it.

 

Btw- they are streaming live right now.

 

She is looking forward to it in 2 years. She could not go this year because she is 13 and doing 8th grade. We have watched some online streaming,
