"I pray that he will bestow on you gifts in keeping with the riches of his glory. May he strengthen you inwardly through the working of his Spirit. May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith and may charity be the root and foundation of your life" (Eph 3:16-17). For over a century, Catholic campus ministry in our country, empowered by the Spirit, has been forming communities of faith which witness to the presence of the risen Christ. Campus ministry helps students continue their faith journey after high school and empowers them to live faithful and faith-filled lives on campus.

Thank you to all those who attended the 2012 Diocesan Youth Rally. We had over 300 in attendance over the weekend. Thousands of plastic bags were collected and tied into yarn to make sleeping mats for the homeless and $600 was collected at the Mass to go toward the One Day to End Homelessness Campaign. The weekend was full of prayer, sacraments, workshops, and fun. We wish to thank everyone who helped to make the 2012 Diocesan Youth Rally a huge success!

If your parish group attended the Youth Rally and you haven't done so already, please take a moment to complete a brief group survey: http://goo.gl/284W3
