ICYC offers young people the chance to come together and grow in their faith
If you were ever hoping to get a glimpse into the hearts of Catholic teenagers, it was right there on display on a signboard at the Indiana Catholic Youth Conference (ICYC) on Nov. 6. Set up in the midst of the conference’s theme park area at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, the signboard was a place where about 600 Catholic youths from across the archdiocese had the opportunity to complete this thought, “Life is at its best …” The answers included, “when I’m with friends,” “when I’m giving back,” “when I’m with family,” “when I pray,” “when I make someone smile,” and “when I receive the Eucharist.” (Page 1)

He also thought of how those life-changing moments have been shaped by the relationship he has formed during the past 11 years with the pope. After all, it was Pope Francis who announced on Oct. 9 that Archbishop Tobin would be one of the Church’s 17 new cardinals. And 13 days later, Cardinal-designate Tobin learned that Pope Francis was reassigning him from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis to lead the Archdiocese of Newark, N.J.—a move that became official on Nov. 7.
