Heart & Soul will rock and roll
at High School Rally this Fall!
 
Jesus Christ, King of Heart & Soul is the theme of our 2009 diocesan High School Youth Rally, to be held Sunday, Oct. 4, at the Coralville Marriott.
 
Our keynoter will be the amazing ValLimar Jansen, an incredible storyteller and singer who has performed at NCYC. We'll also enjoy music from the band "1 of 12," celebrate Mass with Bishop Amos, grow in our faith at some great breakout sessions, eat a lot, and play on inflatable games. Rally comes early this year, so let your parish youth leader know now that you want to go!

See our HS Rally shirt!
You'll want to get one of these shirts, which capture the coolness of Jesus Christ, the King of Heart & Soul. They'll look hot at the rally in October, and also double as our NCYC shirt, so folks will be wearing them on the streets of Kansas City this fall on the Feast of Christ the King!

Reaching new heights
at Catholics in Action
 
Nearly 100 youth and their leaders from 17 parish groups went out on a limb for three days to serve people in need at Catholics in Action 2009. Whether it was climbing a ladder to paint a flood-damaged home in Cedar Rapids, or grabbing a paint brush to spruce up the Iowa City animal shelter as it relocated after last summer's floods, CIA participants rose to the challenge.
