June 14, 2017More than 900 youth and adults from across the Diocese of Beaumont gather in Downtown Houston for the 51st Diocesan Youth Convention. This year’s theme is “Rise Up: Dare to be a Disciple” from Matthew 28:16-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations… and behold, I am with you, to the end of the age.”
The first night kicked off with Bob Lesnefsky, or better known as “Righteous B,” pumping up the teens with a concert and his keynote speaking of his life’s ministry working with inner-city kids.
The night wrapped up with a live performance of the Stations of the Cross by Our Lady of Guadalupe, Port Arthur; Our Mother of Mercy, Beaumont; St. Anne, Beaumont and the Diocese of Beaumont seminarians.
