Full of joy and buzzing with energy, the Dallas Catholic Middle School Conference kicked off its inaugural event bright and early on Oct. 18 at John Paul II High School in Plano. The first of its kind hosted by the Diocese of Dallas, the conference invited hundreds of middle schoolers across the diocese to gather for a day of formation, praise, and community. About 650 people from 26 parishes participated.
As Auxiliary Bishop Greg Kelly looked over a crowd of hundreds of middle school youth Oct. 19 at John Paul II High School in Plano, he had a simple question for them: Did they see themselves going to Mass every Sunday for the rest of their lives? He was greeted with a resounding, “Yes!”
