📣 Calling all Youth Directors! The deadline to enter your Youth Group in the Family Fest human foosball match is TOMORROW!

During Family Fest, we will be hosting a human foosball match between seminarians of the Diocese of St. Augustine versus one parish youth group in the diocese!

The match will be played in a large, outdoor, inflatable foosball court with two teams trying to be the first to score seven (7) goals. Each team of five (5) players takes their positions and remains in place, holding ropes as the “bars”, trying to score by kicking the ball into the opponent’s net while keeping the ball below the “bars”, just like a standard tabletop foosball game.

Submissions must be made by the director of the parish youth group and there must be a total of five (5) players from that group (no more, no less). The deadline for applying is Friday, May 16. The winning parish will be selected at random and announced on Monday, May 19.

For more information, please contact familylife@dosafl.com. Click here to enter: form.jotform.com/Office_Family/dosa-family-fest--human-foosball

Even if your team isn't selected, come join the fun on Saturday, May 31st at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche at Mission Nombre de Dios

Q&A with Bishop Pohlmeier | Pt. 3
>> What should Catholics keep in mind as they welcome Pope Leo XIV?

Bishop Pohlmeier reminds us: It’s the Holy Spirit who guides the new pope—and our role is to listen with humility. Even when his words challenge us, we’re called to seek the Shepherd’s voice and follow Christ more closely.

Where is God guiding us through Pope Leo XIV?
Is our attitude allowing God to work in our hearts and in His Church?
