April 1, 2015 “Follow Me,” the 2015 diocesan Youth Rally, will open April 24 with a concert at St. Alexander’s Church in Morrisonville and close April 25 with a Mass at St. Peter’s Church with Bishop Terry R. LaValley presiding. Jackie Francois Angel, a speaker, singer/songwriter, and worship leader from Orange County, California, will perform at the 7 p.m. concert. She will also serve as keynote speaker and workshop leader for Saturday’s program. The doors of Seton Academy open April 25 at 8:30 a.m. for registration. Prayers, announcements and icebreakers will follow at St. Peter’s Church. Mrs. Angel will deliver her first address at 10 a.m., followed by a boys’ workshop, then a girls’ workshop and then a second address at 1:30, all at St. Peter’s. Mrs. Angel has been involved in youth ministry since she graduated high school, and she now travels the globe speaking to young people about God’s love and leading worship for various events and ministries. The afternoon schedule also includes a panel discussion, “Stories of journey following Jesus’ footsteps,” at Seton Academy, led by Sister Rachel Daly and other newly professed Franciscan Sisters of Renewal. Sister Rachel, a native of Peru and graduate of Seton Catholic, made her first profession with the order in the Bronx in September. A question-answer session with Bishop LaValley will follow the panel discussion before the group moves to St. Peter’s for the Mass. The cost for the Youth Rally is $30 which includes lunch, snack and a t-shirt. The cost for the concert is $10.
