Who says evangelization can't include a 25K run and Taco Bell? 🌮🏃‍♂️

Youth Apostles Full Member and missionary at Bishop O'Connell High School Austin Mee turned a self-designed 25K pilgrimage run into an invitation for students to join them for Daily Mass, prayer, conversation, or a Taco Bell stop to refuel. He was joined by Nick Eastman, who is a Full Member in Youth Apostles as well!

The Arlington Catholic Herald has shared a bit about the vocation stories of the Ordinandi.

Take some time this week to read their stories, learn more about the Youth Apostles preparing to say “yes” to spiritual fatherhood, and keep them in your prayers as they approach ordination, which is just one week away!

- Isaiah 43:1

These are just two of many notes from students at Bishop O'Connell High School to our missionaries there. For us, walking with young people means knowing them by name, recognizing the unique gifts that God has given them, and calling them into deeper relationship with him through those gifts.
