"The goal of the festival is to seek many young people to see a good life from the stories of priests, nuns, and lay people who responded to God's call," said Fr. de Jesus
"For us Catholics, it is not a matter of choosing the sacramental life of the Church versus popular piety... It is never a question of choosing one," said Archbishop Charles John Brown.
