T V U W With grateful appreciation for the ministry of Deacon Ed Clements and Deacon Dennis Langdon Father Matt, Father Dennis, the Staff and Parishioners of Saint Joseph Catholic Parish Golden, Co. Fr. Frank, the Staff, and Parishioners of St. Francis of Assisi in Longmont wish to recognize and thank Deacon George Thierjung Deacon (now Fr.) Mauro Sanchez Deacon Peter Wojda for their awesome service to our parish. May God bless you! Europe, which is becoming more and more secularized, a hope that is beau- tiful," explained Father Fedele. "That they may see that it is joyful to believe in God and that there is another way to live as a youth. That you can be happy following the Lord." The Way pilgrims will evangelize by announcing the good news in public squares and giving witness to what Jesus Christ has done in their lives. In addition to attending the vigil and Mass with the Holy Father at the Field of Mercy, located southeast of central Krakow, the Way pilgrims will visit Terezin, a concentration camp outside of Prague that was run by Nazi Germany from 1941-1945, and the icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, enshrined at Jas- na- Gora Monastery, the national shrine of Poland located in Czestochowa. They will also attend an international vocational meeting with the initiators of the Way, during which youths will be invited to answer a call to priesthood or consecrated life and families to go on mission to de-Christianized areas of the world. "God has a plan for [everyone]," Father Fedele said. He has a mission for [everyone]. The whole purpose of Chris- tian life is to discover what that mission is, the plan God wants to open for you." Not only is Christ waiting for the pil- grims in Poland, Father Fedele said, but he desires that they be the source of an encounter for others with him. "God wants to have a personal expe- rience with each one of us that can really change our life," he said, referring to the joy of new life in Christ that transforms us from being self-centered and empty to selfl ess and loving. "[Then] every- thing has a meaning, even suŠ ering." Some 300 Neocat- echume- nal Way pilgrims are trav- elling to Krakow, Poland for World Youth Day.
