World Youth Day Celebration in DC - Oct 6

You may have heard of it. World Youth Day. Millions of Catholic young people getting together with the Pope to celebrate our faith and to be inspired to live for Jesus. But, you may have also heard its in Australia in 2008. Way too far away!!

Anyway, for those who can't go, like me (unless we have a miracle here), the Pope has encouraged dioceses around the nation to sponsor their own individual celebrations to serve as spiritual prep for those going and as an event for those who can't go - but do want to be spiritually close to the event in '08.

So on October 6th down at Catholic U in Washington DC they are hosting an all day "World Youth Day Event" sponsored by a great Catholic group called Youth Arise International.

Come for a powerful day of dynamic and professional speakers, praise and worship with Catholic musician Matt Maher, holy mass with Bishop Jacobs from Louisiana, Eucharistic Adoration, and fellowship with other young adults from all over the DC Metro Area. Find out more on MySpace or Facebook or their Registration page.

Youth Arise in connection with dioceses is doing events like this all around the world. They put together a little video to promote the event which follows:
