Remembering his continuous concern and ongoing addresses to world's youth and his affection to young people, the Office of Campus Ministry at St. Thomas University, directed by Rev. Luis Rivero, has organized a youth rally, an educational and spiritual program that will also be exciting and fun-filled, to continue his legacy. Students will have a great time as they learn about the life of Blessed John Paul II, have the opportunity to get close to the saint-to-be through the relics, and experience a Holy Mass celebrated by the most reverend Fernando Isern, Bishop Emeritus of Pueblo Colorado.
