Luke Yamnitz, a freshman at DeSmet High School, continues to share his experience of the pilgrimage.  Read it [1]and be inspired! 

We're back from New York!  What a blessed time it was to journey with young people to see our Holy Father.  There was much laughter, prayer, and bonding as we spent MANY hours on a bus together…probably more than we all anticipated!  It was worth the twists and turns to see Pope Benedict XVI!  Check out some photos [2] and blogs [3].  Listening to the stories and experiences of the young people is quite edifying!  We thank you for your prayers! 

Stay tuned to the message [4] of the Holy Father during his visit here to the United States.  Check out the welcome videos [5] from across the country! 

Let us listen attentively to the words Pope Benedict XVI will share with us.  Let us give thanks that he comes to visit us, the Church in America. 

Please pray for the 55 youth pilgrims as we journey to see Pope Benedict at the Youth Rally in New York.  We leave on Thursday, April 17th, attend the Youth Rally on April 19th, and will return on April 20th.  Some young people will be sharing their experience through blogs [6], so come back soon to journey with us!
