"We are CALLED" / "Somo LLAMADOS," the title of this year's High School Youth Conference (DLYC), is hosted by the Diocese of Laredo Youth Ministry. Why participate? Pope Francis challenges all of us to become missionary disciples who are not afraid to witness the faith. We believe that a joint witness of thousands of young people and their prayers will indeed help young people to see themselves as witnesses of Christ and members of a young Church.

As a Catholic bishop, I say, “I am sorry.” I sincerely express these three words with you. I regret the pain that so many are feeling throughout the Catholic Church in the United States with the abuse that surfaced in Pennsylvania. You, the faithful, are shaken by the scandal. I myself am saddened and troubled. This should have never happened.
