You know that new calendar that you got over the Christmas break? Well, crack that bad boy open and go mark down:
March 31st!!!!!
It is a very important day in Catholic Youth Ministry. Know why? Check out the slideshare, it is brief (only 5 minutes) and after viewing it, you will understand why you should be dedicating this day to prayer, study, and/or packing for Madrid.
Meanwhile, this is the second in our series of Soapbox Wednesdays. You are invited to get in on this action. You don’t have to “be an expert.” Details are here.

Some frequent commenters were sent an advance copy of this… It has been updated, most especially to the correct date of March 31st!

Hi Scott…Will you send an email about efforts to help our brothers and sisters in Haiti? Their ArchBishop was killed in the quake. My heart is breaking for them…>
