Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 24th (or Saturday, September 23rd if you are in 7th or 8th Grade). That is the date of this year's World Youth Day at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, IL. World Youth Day is a youth rally featuring great music, dynamic keynote speakers, an energetic mass, and one heck of a dance!
This year, my friend Orin and I (Oddwalk Ministries) will serve as the house band and the emcees for the day. World Youth Day will also feature two of the best Catholic keynote speakers around, Mike Patin and Jesse Manibusan.
Mike Patin is a unique blend of humor, holiness, and cajun wit. Mike has a very energetic style and is very challenging. Some of you might remember Mike as the keynote speaker from World Youth Day 2005.
Jesse Manibusan is one of the most well-known Catholic musicians around. Jesse's fun-loving style and love for God makes him a crowd favorite no matter where he goes. Jesse has written some outstanding music, including "Open My Eyes", a song most of us are familiar with.
While I know that this event is only six weeks away, it's not to early to let me know whether or not you are interested in attending. The cost of the day will be $25 ($30 for Jr. High). The deadline for registration is Sunday, August 27th. Don't delay!
