Sanctus2020

The religious communities in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe are organizing a multi-day conference for youth in our region. SANCTUS2020 will be an opportunity for high school age youth to encounter the meaning and purpose life has when we pursue our universal call to holiness. The conference will expose them to the diversity of charisms that make up our Church. Central to the experience will be opportunities to participate in reconciliation, Mass and the Divine Office.
Internationally known Catholic speaker Jimmy Mitchell will be one of the keynote presenters. He is best known for leading young people to see the value of a life of faith through an encounter with beauty. Nationally known music artist Lee Roessler will lead us in praise and worship. Other presenters will include young religious and clergy from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, including Sr. Desiré Anne-Marie Findlay, CSSF, Fr. Michael Niemczak, Br. Patricio Chacón, O. Praem., and Fr. Graham Golden, O. Praem. among others.
Too often our youth succumb to the lie that they are what the world tells them they need to be. By offering concrete tools to uncover each person’s dignity and value in God, SANCTUS2020 hopes that young people will come to know they are called to influence our world by the beauty and gift that they are.
The conference will be held at the Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town, January 31-Febraury 2. Registration closes December 13th. Please visit the SANCTUS website for more information. www.sanctusnm.org
