We Are Back “Strong in Our Faith and Trusting the 10”

2/23/2020

 
Mr. Conrad and I had the absolute pleasure of spending a weekend with a dozen of St. Aidan’s finest teens at the Rainbow Youth Conference last weekend. The teens, showed up with Teddy Bears, were eager to listen to the keynotes, attend their modules, participate in Adoration and Reconciliation, attend Mass with the Archbishop, eat, quietly stay in their hotel rooms until lights out where they ate more. The keynotes shared how the Ten Commandments guide us in our life to choose Christ. And all of our teens were treated to my module on how to be strong in their faith despite their age, and I can report, the trial run the week prior with the junior high, paid off. Prayers were answered, it was a hit. Their parents and the community should be proud of our teens representing St. Aidan. There were only 40 parishes in attendance and by my estimation, St. Aidan brought nearly 50% of the bears for the service project.

​This was my 20th 
time at Rainbow, and I can tell you I have so much hope for our teens. They were filled with compassion and took care of one another. I cannot recall a single complaint. They were equipped to handle everything. They even solved their own problems. Hotel furniture was moved from the girl’s room to the boy’s room so there was a bed for eve- ryone. And when I asked if they put it back? -of course they did. Without prompting, they were gracious to the hotel staff and servers.

If your teen did not go, they missed out on one of the greatest experiences of the year for teens in Detroit. There is a RISE Conference at Mercy High School coming in April 25th
. It is new, but check it out. Also, for our Junior High, CYO WIND Conference is scheduled for 4/4. Let me know if you are interested.

Please check out all of our photos on Facebook and share them with your friends with teens.
