This year's ICYC theme was "Heroic Love," presented through the lives of the saints! Following Pope Francis' words to "Go, do not be afraid, and serve," over 1,600 youth and young adults were shown how the saints gave witness to "heroic love," while being challenged to put this heroic love into action in their own lives!
Students, youth ministers, men and women religious, and priests attended talks given by guest speakers, including: Sean Forrest, Catholic musician and founder of "Movin' with the Spirit, Inc."; Mary Bielski, founder of "ALL4HIM Ministries" and inspirational speaker; Fr. Joseph Espaillat II, Director of Youth Ministry for the Archdiocese of New York and the founder of "Messengers of Christ."
