Northwest Catholic recently asked readers what they’d like to see in our magazine and on our website. Many respondents said they want to see youth and young adults living their faith. They want to see the future of our church.

I couldn’t agree more.

So we’ve filled our April/May issue with a story about our new Archdiocesan Youth Council, a column from the president of Young Catholic Professionals, and young adults sharing why they’re Catholic. Even Bishop Schuster reflects on what he saw and felt at World Youth Day last summer.

These stories are just the tip of the iceberg. I urge you to visit NWCatholic.org between issues of the magazine to read more about local youth and young adults growing in faith and serving their communities. We don’t have enough pages here for all this good news, but our website is updated daily to inspire and inform.

Our church is alive and well, and I promise we will keep telling these stories.
