This past Sunday, 250 high schoolers gathered for a day of games, praise & worship, talks, prayer, adoration, and mass at our annual Diocesan Youth Rally.

We were joined by keynote speaker Lucas Lima who spoke about our true identities as sons and daughters of God and what this means for our lives.
