Ja-niece Washington from St. Dorothy Parish sings with eighth-grade students from the St. Ailbe School choir. Several youth groups from the archdiocese and neighboring communities performed liturgical dance, Christian rap, mime and other expressions of their faith during an Oct. 29 youth- and young adult-centered celebration at Seton Academy in South Holland. The event was part of a week of activities in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Office for Black Catholics.
