 An Invitation
Greetings in the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ!
I am very pleased to invite you to participate in our first Archdiocesan Young Adult Conference which is for all young adults 18-40, from campuses and the workplace, single, married or divorced.
The theme, LOVE AND FIRE: Striving 2gether 2 Ignite the Flame, is founded in the words of the disciples on their walk to Emmaus "were not our hearts burning within us...?" The conference will explore forming a Catholic conscience, responding to questions about our faith, living in this world as a Catholic, relationships and sexuality, as well as approaches to achieving social justice.
I encourage you to take full advantage of this opportunity to grow in your spirituality and knowledge of our faith.
May Jesus through the intercession of our Blessed Virgin Mary guide you in your faith journey.
Most Reverend José H. Gomez
Archbishop of San Antonio
