24 Years of Kujenga

The canonization of St. John Paul II shaped the 24th annual Kujenga Leadership Conference, sponsored by the Vicariate of Black Catholic Concerns. St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body was the theme of the retreat, which was attended by 69 campers from 15 diocesan parishes. Taught to honor God with their bodies, the youth learned about chastity, prayer, respect and unity. Organizers hope to reach out and welcome the youth of the New York Archdiocese and the Diocese of Rockville Centre in 2015.
