In Short
Five college students from the Diocese of Meath have commended a leadership summit in Chicago saying it was “a really positive experience” after joining over 8,000 people at the event. The Student Leadership Summit was organised by the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS).
FOCUS is an outreach that helps college and university students to deepen their relationship with Jesus and the Catholic Faith. It aims to inspire and equip students for a lifetime of Christ-centred evangelisation, discipleship and friendships which allows them to lead others to do the same.
The Meath participants included Neil Shevlin from Ratoath, Mark Caffrey, Ratoath, Sarah Kate Moynihan, Ashbourne, Alanna Bradley from Dunshaughlin and Ivan Mather (Ratoath).
“It was a really positive experience,” Mark Caffrey said. “The summit encouraged us and helped us bring the Gospel to our generation which so desperately needs to hear it.”
“Almost 80% of those who leave the Catholic faith do so by the age of 23. There are many of us who are college students and Faith means a lot to us. We are eager to deepen our Faith and to share with it in a positive and fresh way with our contemporaries.”
