Pope Francis Addresses Russian Youth at Russia's Catholic Youth Day | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Holy Father urged young Russians to be "sowers of seeds of reconciliation and artisans of peace." On the occasion of the Russian Catholic Youth Day over the weekend, Pope Francis interacted remotely with about 400 boys and girls. Remembering the Lisbon World Youth Day motto, "Mary got up and went in haste," he invited the youth "to have the courage to replace fears with dreams." Organizer of the Russian Youth Day in St. Petersburg, Oksana Pimenova, joins to tell us more about what Pope Francis said to young people and the highlights of this meeting. Pimenova shares more about the event for Catholic youth in Russia, what some of the highlights were and how the Church is doing in Russia. She will participate in the October Synod at the Vatican. Pimenova discusses what her role will be and what expectations she has for this important meeting of the Universal Church. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
