I met youth from all around the country. It has been fun to keep in touch with all the diocesan participants who attended. This was a liturgical music camp run by Richard Putorti. I learned a lot about the liturgy and what is appropriate for different parts of mass. Again, organized by Richard, this concert is a fundraiser to raise money for youth attending the NPM conference.
New people are always welcome.
Every two years, the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry sponsors a gathering for high school youth, the National Catholic Youth Conference. This year's conference will be held in Indianapolis , Indiana , from December 5-9. St. John the Baptist Parish will send twelve young people and two adults to this conference. We will travel with approximately 350 youth from the Albany Diocese. This is a unique opportunity to gather with 28,000 Catholic youth from across the nation in workshop, prayer, and fun.
