What a wonderful experience! About 600+ young people from the Hispanic parishes in the Archdiocese (Milwaukee) gathered at Cousins Center, Milwaukee. They arrived in cars, vans, buses. The last time I was in an all-Hispanic youth gathering was years ago when the Milwaukee and Chicago Archdiocesan Vocation Offices sponsored a National Hispanic Vocation Conference...and we had all the trimmings!
Saturday we had music, dance, color....a sharing of Culture including a Marian ceremony. It should have left the youth with a renewed sense of pride.
It was truly refreshing to mingle with these young people. We continue to wish them well, commending them to the Lord to heal any wounds they carry, to give them a sense of pride in who they are, and courage to move forward with their dreams.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, cuida a tus hijos y hijas.
