"About Face! Focused on God!" Also, shirts
can have your parish or school name on them!
Check out the shirts at
www.Seraph7.com. That is also the place
to make your special orders. Orders must be
received by February 15th.
Participate at Youth Day in a special
way. An invitation to those in high
school and to those adults who would
like to help at Youth Day:
AS A YOUTH EMCEE -- Are you or someone
you know in high school (grade 9 through
12)? Are you registered for Youth Day
2008 with a school or parish? Do you
like performing in front of large
crowds? Can you arrive at Youth Day in
Anaheim by 8:30 a.m. and can you attend
a REQUIRED training day or other
rehearsals if needed? If you answered
YES to all of these, consider being an
EMCEE at YOUTH DAY 2008! (Contact us by
Friday, January 4, 2008.)
AS A SINGER OR INSTRUMENTALIST -- To be
part of the Youth Day 2008 Arena Music
