Mark ParkerJust like our St. Nicholas youth group discussed last week over coffee at the parish hall, choosing a college just because it's "prestigious" without thinking about how it fits God's plan for your life... isn't right. What about helping kids talk to their priest about their gifts, like Father John does with the high schoolers?

Olivia CampbellThat's exactly what we discussed last Tuesday after 9am service in the parish hall—Father John had the seniors share how his "vocation discernment" sessions helped them choose a business school that also offered campus ministry, rather than just the top-ranked one. Did you notice how many of them mentioned feeling less anxious after talking to him?
