Our experience with Catholic Day was amazing. It felt like a dream to be with so many Catholics and help spread the faith. Also, being able to go to Citi Field for the first time and participate in Mass while in the field was unforgettable.
A Catholic school education impacts me by teaching me to be a better person.
This served as an impactful reminder to not let your struggles overpower your emotions and life. It showed me to keep the small precious things and moments, like making a new friend, close to your heart.
Our focus needs to be fixed, it needs to be turned around! Many times in our lives, we invite everything else into our lives but Him, trying to fill a hole that can only be filled by the Lord himself, leaving us unsatisfied, empty and wanting more.
