On Saturday, Oct. 27, 55 confirmation students from Ascension, Our Lady of Victory and the Parish Community of St. Bridget climbed on a bus with 12 chaperones and headed off to RiverCentre in St. Paul for Archdiocesan Youth Day 2018!
More than 1,000 youth attended. They rocked to the music of SONAR and participated in discussion groups. Mass was celebrated, and everyone had a chance to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and to participate in Eucharistic Adoration. Games, shopping, dinner and a service project were also included.
Debora Guerrero from Ascension was chosen to be on a panel of people who asked questions of Bishop Andrew Cozzens and Archbishop Bernard Hebda. Also included in the panel discussion was a sister from the order of Sisters of Life.
A highlight of the day was an appearance of the band THE SECOND COLLECTION, which included Bishop Cozzens on lead guitar.
