This is the third summer that the youth ministry at St. Sebastian’s, Woodside has sponsored the “Fit Club,” a program that gives youths a way to exercise and build up their faith. And it is a year after Father Henry Torres, a parochial vicar at St. Sebastian’s, started a weight-loss program after being warned about the health dangers his weight posed.

Congratulations are in order for the participants of St. Sebastian’s “Daughters of the King” program. Young women from the Woodside parish discussed love, dating, sexuality, beauty, self-worth, chastity, modesty and how to be a strong, faithful woman in Christ.

Carnesecca Arena was filled to near-capacity with thousands of high school students from the tri-state area.
