Pilgrims who attended World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro gathered for a day of reflection and worship on Sept. 28 in St. Thomas More Church at St. John’s University, Jamaica.

After a few icebreakers, the group gathered for some small group work and sharing. Those gathered discussed role models in their faith, ways to get involved in their faith and how World Youth Day Rio impacted their faith journey.

The day was led by Paul Morisi from the Office of Faith Formation and the Catholic Scholars from St. John’s University. The day concluded with Mass celebrated by Father Josephjude Gannon, pastor of the Shrine Church of St. Gerard Majella, Hollis.
