A portion of a Confirmation homily makes the news? Now that’s Catholic Youth Ministry News for this week!
SPRINGFIELD, IL – - Recently, Chicago auxiliary bishop Joseph Paprocki was installed as the bishop of Springfield, IL.He closed his Instillation Mass homily with the same way he closes his Confirmation homilies… By SINGING!
Paprocki sang, “Jesus Loves You,” which was written by Brian Littrell, previously of the Backstreet Boys. Littrell now writes and performs Christian music. The new bishop a cappella with the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception choir as backup.
“This sums up my whole message as a bishop,” Paprocki said before breaking into song. (h/t to Deacon Greg.)
I really like the Catholic YM News section of this blog. I am strongly considering starting something similar for the UK via CatholicYouthWork.com
It’s a good way to give people ideas and catch them up with what’s going on.
