Most people are familiar with World Youth Day, but most don’t realize that parishes, dioceses, and archdioceses around the world embrace that concept and host small-scale events of their own. The Archdiocese of New York recently hosted New York Catholic Youth Day, encouraging young people from the 5 boroughs and beyond to get involved and take an active interest in their faith. They offered an incredible line-up of guest speakers and musical performances, culminating in an outdoor mass with Cardinal Dolan that, for many, was the highlight of the day.
