Great Concert for Sydney

"'You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses.' Acts 1:8

What a beautiful experience to see our parish family support the efforts of our teens to get to Sydney, Australia for World Youth Day! We had a full house! The concert, more like a parish festival, was attended by more than three hundred parishioners!

The music shared was inspirational, and quite moving. We have so many talented musicians in our parish! One of the highlights of the evening was the special performance by the girl's choir of Receive the Power, the WYD 2008 theme song. We also heard several selections from our youth band. As always, you rock!! The presentation of our very own WYD cross to the pilgrims by their parents was also an incredible moment. Thank you to everyone who helped make this night a huge success! Sydney....here we come!!!
