Featured key-note speakers will be Jesse Manibusan and David Wells. The Provincial Youth Day on Friday, November 2, will bring together as many as 400 high school students. Jesse Manibusan, a world renowned musician and speaker, will engage the youth in a high energy, interactive presentation. The day will end with the celebration of Mass. All Catholic youth are welcome to attend!With this exciting and positive outlook on health and education, all are invited to mark their calendars for November 2–4 and be open to the possibilities of not only being challenged about the future, but also be re-charged and ready for whatever that future holds.
