The Diocese of Rochester’s 15th Diocesan Youth Convention was held at the RIT Inn and Conference Center Aug. 7-8. The two-day experience of prayer, learning and community for Catholic teens included workshops, keynote speaker Jesse Manibusen and a liturgy with Bishop Matthew H. Clark. This year’s theme chosen by the Diocesan Youth Committee was “Faith Divin’ — Take the Plunge.” (Click here to view more photos from this event and/or buy prints.)
