On January 21-23, in the frigid air of Baltimore, Maryland nestled along its inner harbor, 1400 Catholic college students gathered around the Eucharist in order to explore and strengthen their faith. Prayer opportunities, holy hour, talks and entertainment, sharing and reach out made for a packed weekend. Emilio Estevez, the actor and director, also came to share his Catholic faith and to showcase his new movie, The Way.

The Xaverian Missionaries also had a chance to share the urgency of the global mission of the church with these young people with the hopes of inspiring some to serve this great call of Christ. Here are some pics of the event:
