Two things I love about being Catholic: service organizations and making pilgrimages!

Kathleen and I had a blast today hanging out on location at Matherne's Supermarket for the St. Vincent de Paul Thanksgiving food drive! We witnessed people generously donating food that they would want at their own Thanksgiving dinner table, from bread to canned goods. Someone even donated a 1995 Toyota Avalon!  We also chatted with the Baton Rouge St. Vincent de Paul President, Michael Acaldo. He challenged listeners to volunteer on the days before and after holidays. He said many volunteers show up for the holidays, but do not necessarily realize how few volunteers come on the days surrounding holidays. Will you volunteer or donate this holiday season?

National Catholic Youth Conference 

Tomorrow night 35 young people (including Kathleen and I) begin our pilgrimage to the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis, Indiana! NCYC brings together nearly 21,000 young Catholics to celebrate as one universal Church. We are so excited to begin this journey. Kathleen and I will be live broadcasting from the NCYC exhibit hall. Tune in at 2pm on Friday, November 18th as we chat with Catholic teens from across the country.
