There were I think around 180 participants this year! Praise God! The Capuchin Franciscan Friars of the Renewal were greatly received! So many people were touched by these gentle souls. And the Sisters of Life from New York were a perfect addition/combination to this year's conference!
Steve Angrisano, a Nationally recognized Catholic youth speaker, was phenomenal! There was beautiful music and prayers the entire weekend, I think everyone went to confession! I really wonder how we can follow up with next year's conference.
The planning of the Vermont Catholic Youth Conference (VCYC) of 2011 is in the works, and it's looking like another wonderful year! We have so many wonderful young priests in our diocese, spreading graces of God like wildfire, and our beloved Bishop is doing wonders in the parishes through them! I think the last straw that should fall into place is the youth response. I've seen so many apathetic kids going into these conferences and coming out changed people. Will this hold true in Vermont, the most irreligious state of the U.S.? I know that whatever happens now is the Divine Will of God, with so many praying and pushing for youthful enthusiasm for our Catholic Church.
