More conference photos


Well, that wraps up the third St Michael's Youth Conference, Southwest. It was a great session. Physically, I feel worn out, but I'm all pumped up spiritually. Here are some more photos. Click on the photo for a larger version.

Our Lord and the angels and saints were watching over us this week.

Holy Hour in the chapel, when about two third of our Michaelites made their confession.

Thank you for these nice pictures, Father. I'm glad you had a good time. The kids from St. Timothy's certainly did!
