ADVENT: CALL TO ACTION
Our Liturgy Committee reflected on the Advent readings and invites the community to become invigorated as we
enter into this season of preparation. I asked the committee to read the Scriptures through the lens of God’s
mercy, as we are beginning this great Year of Jubilee, the Year of Mercy. With that in mind, they discerned that
the readings are calling us to action, and so every week we will be “Called to Action.”
—Fr. Joe
Week 1: The Advent Scriptures for the first Sunday of the Church’s year evoke the signs of the end
times. As a call to action we ask ourselves: What sign are we to the world?

to listen to and heed the cry of the earth and the cry of the

beautiful earthly garden you have created for us, for all our

From the Book of Ann Marie
Dear Parish Family,
I wish that there was some way within these written words that I could transport you, if for just a
moment, into the experiences we shared with our young people last weekend at the National
Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC). I wish you could experience the hesitation with which most
young people enter into the experience and how it transforms them. I wish you could be in a football
stadium with 23,000 Catholics and feel the energy of our young Church as they pray and play
together. I wish that you could hear the keynote speakers—because although the talks were designed to engage
teenagers, they were theologically rich, insightful, and challenging. I wish you could sit with our group and listen to
them talk about their experiences of going to confession or a workshop they attended, or asking questions about the
difference between nuns and sisters or monks, brothers, and priests. I wish you could know our NCYC participants
in the way we got to know them through this pilgrimage.
Two experiences in particular I will carry with me for a long time. The first was on Friday night when the evening
session was an XLT. XLT is short for exalt, and it is a popular experience within youth ministry in parts of the United
States, especially in the South. It consists of praise and worship music, a witness talk, and adoration. I have never
experienced an XLT before, but I have certainly heard about it in my previous job when I traveled throughout the
U.S. doing training and programming for youth ministry. I wasn’t quite sure if it would be “my type” of experience
of prayer—but it was so powerful! Matt Maher, an amazing Catholic musician, led the praise and worship music that
really did get me and the whole 23,000 of us ready to experience a time with Jesus in adoration. Mark Hart, who is
known as the Bible Geek, did a really powerful talk about how our struggles are transformed when we place them on
the altar and allow Jesus to help us through them. In fact, I was amazed how in sync his talk was with what Robert
Feduccia shared with us at our parish retreat on Tuesday! And then the Eucharist was brought into the stadium and
complete silence followed for 20 minutes, as teens (and us adults) brought our prayers, our fears, and our struggles to
Jesus. Many in our group also went to Reconciliation during this XLT time, adding to the whole experience. We
ended with Benediction and more praise and worship music. In addition to it being a time of great prayer for me
personally, I was brought to tears just by the power of sharing this profound moment with our young people—such
an intimate experience of vulnerability and prayer. It was humbling.
The second experience happened in the thematic park—Camp Tekakwitha. Besides the events in the Lucas Oil
Stadium, the Indianapolis Convention Center is home to the workshops and this “park” that has booths, but also has
a huge variety of interactive experiences—a wonderful prayer area, an arts and crafts area, a justice area with
simulations and ways to help, a mobile pack where NCYC packed 50,000 meals, and a low ropes course. A low ropes
course consists of activities that are designed to help groups cooperate. If you have never seen one, it is a little hard to
describe, but they always involve groups needing to work together, usually physically, to achieve a goal. We stood on
a huge teeter-totter and were able to balance ourselves. The young people passed themselves and each other through
a huge spider web and they used ropes to pick up a bucket and pour its contents into another bucket. But the activity
that was most interesting to me was simple—it involved moving everyone from one side of a space to another, with
rules about how they could move. Our group of kids worked on that activity for a good 10 minutes, trying, failing,
trying again, failing again, and finally succeeding. The reason this was so powerful to me was that it was the least
physical, it had no fun props or visuals to it, it wasn’t something that many other groups did, and yet there was our
group, working together, changing ideas, letting different people lead, and finally celebrating when they succeeded.
It is a good testament to the maturity of our young people and their sense of Christian community.
Ashley Blank deserves all the credit for organizing our group and being our fearless leader throughout NCYC. She
does a wonderful job of accompanying our young people—listening to them, entering into their joys and struggles,
and calling them to be their best. Thanks also to Marie de Roos for joining our delegation and entering into the
experience so fully. All of us adults, Ashley, Marie, Fr. Joe, and I, so enjoyed this opportunity to enter into the
experience of NCYC with our young people—to laugh and pray and play with them. Our kids did us proud this past
weekend. I wish you could have been with us! I wish there were an NCYC for adults!
Peace,
A vibrant Catholic Community where all are welcomed, challenged, and supported in their life’s journey.
