Rise Up, Young Church!

This week, I would like to share with you all about a new New Evangelization ministry that I just discovered - Lighthouse Catholic Youth.  You may have heard of the ministry Lighthouse Catholic Media - you may have seen their kiosks of Catholic audio talks and pamphlets in the back of your Church or a Church you visited. 

Well, now they have launched Lighthouse Catholic Youth in an effort to reach the young people in the Church.  This is a great resource because it reaches young people where they are.  As young people in the age of technology, we are constantly using it - the internet, music, texting, smart phones.... We are even reading our books on electronics and driving our cars with computer, GPS and Bluetooth capabilities.  Lighthouse Catholic Youth will reach this tech-savvy generation with the launch of their new project Truth Be Told.  For only $2 a month, you will be able to download relevant Catholic talks.  These talks will be relevant to the questions surrounding the young people today and will help them live their faith in a fuller capacity because these talks will help them better understand what they believe.  See below for more information in their promotional video:


This project has me very excited, not only because the young people of the Church are already embracing the call to the New Evangelization, but because I have personally benefited from the products that Lighthouse Catholic Media has put out.  They are quality talks by dynamic speakers who really make you excited about the Catholic faith.  This new initiative will challenge a world satisfied with mediocrity and really call upon the "Young Church" to believe in something.  To challenge the status quo and stand for something.  To know what they believe and to truly believe it.  It's hard to believe in something, to stand up for it and be passionate about it if you don't know it and understand it. 

I encourage you to check out their website, videos and blog, and really take advantage of this offer.  Why not spend $2 on something relevant, edifying, and worth your time?  In the words of these young men - "Rise up, young Church!"
