There has been much buzz about the vibrant Christian life found amoung the Catholic youth at Texas A&M University. Many of us older Christians get worried that Christianity is being abandoned by the youth of our country.Today, at a luncheon meeting of local ministers, we started down this road. This pessimistic swerve was halted when a young (20s?) intern Pastor at our largest Lutheran Parish raised her hand and offered a more opptimistic view. Several of us then joined in with examples of American youth involved in Christian churches.
One example I offered was the Catholic student parish at Texas A&M University. Rather than sending you to read nice things being said on many Blogs, I thought it might be helpful to give you some direct links to information about "Aggie" Catholics.
Here is a video with facts about Aggie Catholics’ Parish:
Another video about Aggie Catholics themselves:
The Aggie Student Parish, St Mary's, has a vibrant web site with a wealth of information. It can be visited by clicking here: http://www.aggiecatholic.org/
There is also an ongoing Blog written by Marcel and Sarah two of the five Catholic Campus Ministers (and 4 interns) working at A&M. To view these essays click here: http://marysaggies.blogspot.com/
Take a look and get a shot of opptimism about our youth.
