My Corkboard

In his message to the youth, Pope John Paul II says, "By now World Youth Day has become an important part of your life and of the life of the Church. I invite you therefore to get ready for the seventeeth celebration of this great international event, to be held in Toronto, Canada, in the summer of next year. It will be another chance to meet Christ, to bear witness to his presence in today's society, and to become builders of the 'civilization of love and truth'... Yes, now is the time for mission! In your Dioceses and parishes, in your movements, associations and communities, Christ is calling you."

COMING THIS FALL...

We are putting together community service programs for everyone who is participating in World Youth Day. Materials will be distributed to all parishes with the hope that all will become involved in volunteer work in their home areas.
