June 4, 2005 Atlanta Eucharistic Congress

June 14, 2005

This was an amazing event. Close to 20,00 people there. So many people expressing their devotion to God through a day of prayer, reflection and more.

I felt honored to be a part of the teen track …along with Janelle and ONE 80, Michelle and Chris Benzinger, and Mark Hart of Life TEEN.

I have such great respect for Archbishop Wilton Gregory and for the youth director of the diocese, Barb G. I’d met Archbishop Gregory on a retreat years ago. He is such a personable man. He gave time to youth ministers and shared faith; I felt privileged to be there.

Barb is leading a group of local folk in Atlanta to prepare for the National Catholic Youth Conference, October 27-30. If you’re not familiar with it, check out http://nfcym.org/v3/conf/2005/index.html

The hospitality I received was first rate, special thanks to Graham (a fellow Louisiana native) for being so kind.
