2008 Youth Supplement
Once a year, the Archdiocesan Youth Council writes stories for The Criterion to show readers some of the activities, concerns and interests of young people who share the Catholic faith. This year’s Youth Supplement features stories that range from how changes in life can bring people closer to God to how Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the United States in April is still influencing the lives of young people. (Pages 1B-4B)

Celebrating Catholic
School Values dinner
On an evening marked by the great stories of five Catholics who have made a difference in the world, it seemed fitting that the main speaker would be a well-known writer who describes herself as a storyteller. Befitting her Irish heritage, international best-selling author Mary Higgins Clark shared moments of humor, heartbreak and hope as she addressed an audience of 1,000 people at the Celebrating Catholic School Values Dinner on Nov. 5. (Page 1)
