As we continue on this Jubilee Year of Hope, February is the month of the Holy Family and Pope Francis has urged that “every family should look to the icon of the Holy Family of Nazareth.” (Amoris laetitia, 30)

Mientras continuamos en este Año Jubilar de la Esperanza, febrero es el mes de la Sagrada Familia y el Papa Francisco decía que: “Ante cada familia se presenta el icono de la familia de Nazaret” (Amoris laetitia, 30)

The Diocese of Colorado Springs Young Adult Ministry began the Jubilee Year with a trip out to Salt Lake City, Utah, for a five-day life-changing journey. Sponsored by the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), SEEK is an annual Catholic conference geared towards young adults. With 18,000 participants, hundreds of seminarians, priests, and up to 20 bishops in attendance, it is hard to walk away from the week without a changed heart. This year, our group was nine young adults strong, and we were proudly accompanied by a few of the Salesian sisters.
