Hispanic youth hungry for Christ BY DENVER CATHOLIC STAFF H ow does one satisfy the hunger for the infinite that's in one's heart? That was the question presented to some 600 young people at the Hispanic Youth Encounter March 18, organized by Centro San Juan Diego. Through a series of talks and activi- ties, the event held at the University of Denver sought to help the youth realize that only God can quench their hunger for being loved and accepted, and that the crises come when they seek to fill that emptiness with substitutes. When that happens, organizer Lili- ana Flores told Denver Catholic, there are "fatal consequences," such as young people "resorting to suicide, girls who get pregnant and young people falling into drug addiction." "They do those things because they need true love and do not find it," added Flores. "They need God." In addition to the talks, Father Jason Wunsch, parochial vicar of Ascension Parish, led the youth in a Holy Hour, and several priests, including Arch- bishop Samuel J. Aquila, were available to hear confessions. Hispanic youth ral- lied at the Ritchie Center at the Uni- versity of Denver on March 18.
