Please pray for the young people of our parishes who will be attending the National Catholic Youth conference as they make their final preparations for the event, which takes place November 8-10th in Columbus, OH. It is expected that there will be over 20,000 young Catholics at this amazing experience including over 200 from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. The participants from St. Peter’s and St. Mary’s are Joe Ruth, Kate Ruth, Cory Steinmetz and Bryan Steinmetz along with Maureen Rotramel.

“The National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) is an exciting, biennial three-day experience of prayer, community, and empowerment for Catholic teenagers and their adult chaperones. The schedule includes general sessions and workshops addressing a wide variety of topics as well as opportunities for reconciliation, daily liturgy, and special activities such as concerts, a dance, and comedy club. The thematic park is a unique venue incorporating traditional exhibits with interactive educational and recreational activities.” (from the National Federation of Catholic Youth Ministry website, http://www.nfcym.org/ncyc/2007/index.htm)
