Totally Catholic Youth Ministers Lounge

Are you in youth ministry and you've had it with crazed parents? Rollin' your eyes at the pastoral council? Tired of administration work? Love youth? Love the Church? Appalled at parish politics? Looking for some good games? For a creative ways to teach a lesson for Religious Ed? Just need a place to veg out and say "phew! Someone outside of the parish to talk to!"? Grab y'r Starbucks, turn the computer away from the staff's eyes, grab a seat on a donated dusty couch and let it all go.

The Pope And Youth

Tim Drake makes a great observation. And when I emailed all of the kids here I let them know how much the Pope loved them and believed in them, though he'd not met them.

It cracks me up how the media can't seem to believe that there are so many young people in St Peter's Square who admit to loving this "controversial" man. Does it seem to anyone else that they keep looking for a youth who doesn't love the Pope?

Does anyone have any great or memorable stories about the Holy Father? World Youth Day? Meeting him (oh, I'm so jealous!)?
