Exciting World Youth Day Chaplain news!

Unfortunately, because of Father Thomas' leg sickness, he will no longer be able to serve as one of our chaplains for World Youth Day in July. Please pray for a speedy recovery for him!

After receiving this new, I have been on OVERDRIVE trying to secure our pilgrimage group of 25 would have 2 chaplains. We've already graciously committed to by Fr. Juniper Sistare, CFR, and we're really excited to have him on board. And now, after grueling hours on the phone with our travel agent and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, we were able to secure a second chaplain.

FATHER JOSEPH MARY DEANE, CFR, (yes, the Turtle Power! priest) has committed to serving as chaplain for our group, as well! He had already formed a really solid relationship with our youth, so having him as a chaplain along with good ol' Father Juniper is going to make the trip insanely awesome!

GOD IS SOOOOOO GOOD to us, and it is amazing that we were able to secure a second chaplain in the span of 2 days. But praise God for providing us with these two charismatic, gifted, and young priests to serve as our chaplains!


Fr. Juniper Sistare, CFR.

Fr. Joseph Mary Deane, CFR.

If you can't already tell, our youth have formed a tight bond with these priests already. The things that they spoke about, and the way that they did it, instantly made them both hits!

To top it all off, I haven't officially told any of our youth that Fr. Joseph's coming!!

World Youth Day is going to ROCK!!!!!
