What they are saying…
“One of the things that has most stuck with me from the conferences I have attended is just how widespread the Catholic Young Adult community is in Columbus. It has been amazing to see how the conference brings together young adults from all different backgrounds and parishes and to witness the variety of ways that young people are living out their Catholic faith.”
“I really enjoyed talking to the different exhibitors at the conference. There was one table full of beautiful twine rosaries. I mentioned that I was interested in learning how to make them. The exhibitor was so nice, she offered to teach me, and we ended up meeting for coffee. It’s been so much fun. I just made a bunch for one of my parish’s PSR classes.”
“I believe this conference is a springboard for young adult ministry in the Diocese of Columbus, and I look forward each year to all the Lord will do through this initiative.”
“Trust in the Lord, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. ”
