What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops. --Matthew 10:27

Hundreds of people gathered in Washington this weekend to be a part of the journey of the World Youth Day Cross as it travels to Panama for the 33rd World Youth Day celebration in January 2019.
Young adults from St. Dominic’s Parish in Washington, D.C., were among those who carried the cross for the first leg of the procession. The intentions for that part of the journey were for those with disabilities and also for those affected by the abuse scandal. Christiana Gellert, one of those young adults from St. Dominic’s, said she was “grateful for the opportunity to do a tiny bit of reparation” for all of the sins committed in the Church. “It was really humbling to carry the cross,” said Stephanie Cavan, who noted that it was difficult, but she realized, “I have 10-15 other people, but [Jesus] only had one other person.” Amelia Castro-Mendoza said the group’s cooperation in literally carrying the cross together “is a good metaphor for how we can support each other in our own crosses” in daily life. |

The first Catholic Mass before the first People's Climate March in Washington, DC (as the march's main location) was held at St. Dominic Church on April 29, 2017, the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena. To the right is an article about it from Catholic News Service and Fr. Hyacinth's homily for the occasion.
