There are few experiences in my life that have reminded me so profoundly of the size of the Body of Christ as the first night of each National Catholic Youth Conference I have attended, reminds me. An experience of parish or of high school can feel large but to see 20,000 people who are gathered because we have commonality in being followers of Christ, fills me with awe each time I experience it.

At St Ben’s there is a safe space for all kids willing to volunteer, help, serve and lead in our community. I am forever grateful for the positivity and opportunity that Youth Ministry offers.
