Frassati Fest 2023 was a blast! Our keynote speakers and breakout session leaders were super inspiring, helping us dive into the theme of COMMUNION. Bishop Hying and Fr. Luke Powers celebrated beautiful masses for us and preached great homilies. 11 priests joined us to offer confessions. Parishes had fun bonding in parish time. Thanks to all who joined us and prayed for us! Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!
