In 2006, a boy in Italy passed away from Leukemia at just 15 year old. He was a typical teenager who loved soccer, video games, and his dear friends—he also had a profound belief in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. ✝️

This teenager created a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles around the world. A multilingual, free database, the website was—and is!—accessible to all who had internet access, bringing souls closer to Christ through encounter with the Eucharist, which he called "the highway to heaven." For a little over a year, we've recognized him as a saint. 🤍

With St. Carlo Acutis' help, we can remember...

💻 We can utilize all our gifts for the glory of God
✝️ Jesus is the center of everything
🙏 Holiness is for everyone—at every age, in every time

St. Carlo Acutis, patron of youth and the internet, pray for us!

The Apostle St. James was struggling to evangelize the northern region of Spain. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him on a pillar of jasper, encouraging him to persevere. This is widely considered the first Marian apparition. ✝️

Our Lady of the Pillar encourages us to take heart and keep building our ministry—even when it is difficult. 🤍

💫In October of 1859, Our Lady appeared in a radiant gown and a crown of stars to Adele Brice in Champion, WI—just a few hours up the road from the Youth Guild's home at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. 🌹

Mary told Adele to catechize the young. But with no formal education, Adele was anxious over this task. Mary gave her the maternal reassurance that echoed Scripture itself:

"Go and fear nothing, I will help you."

This month's blog explores how we can put aside our fear and answer God's call for us to be our children's very first, and most important, catechists. Link below to read. 🤍

Join us in listening to Stories from the Guild, a podcast produced by the Youth Guild of St. José Sánchez del Río. Each month, we gather as one guild family to reflect, pray, and journey deeper into the heart of Christ through our journal Full of Grace.

October brings two feasts of Our Lady, and this episode spends time with both: Our Lady of Champion, the only approved Marian apparition in the United States, and Our Lady of the Pillar, who appeared to Saint James on the bank of the Ebro River in Zaragoza.

Learn about the Holy Youth of the Month, hear additional questions, and explore reflections of faith on this episode! Visit youthguild.org/podcast

In a small Montreal village in 1811, the 10th of 11 children was born to an ordinary family. But Eulalia Durocher grew up with an extraordinary desire to serve God. ✝️🍁

After spending a decade caring for the sick and assisting her priest brother, Eulalia took on the name Marie-Rose and founded the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary at just 32 years old. The order began very small, but grew to fill a desperate need: education and faith formation for young people, especially girls.

Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher lived only to 40, but her impact is still felt today. On her feast day, she reminds us....

🕊 A closed door isn't always what it seems. At 16, Marie-Rose wanted to enter religious life but could not due to her health. God's timing prepared her for her future vocation!
🤝 To pay attention to the needs of those directly around you. Anyone can make a difference, no matter their reach!
🍁 Even small beginnings can lead to extraordinary impacts.

Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher pray for us, our teachers, our catechists, and our religious sisters!

Will you sponsor a future saint? 🕊

The Youth Guild serves children and teens ages 2–17, helping them grow closer to Our Lord through traditional Catholic formation created especially for them—all free of charge. ✝️

Each month, every enrolled youth receives a printed copy of the Full of Grace Youth Journal, filled with with catechesis, Scripture commentary, a daily consecration to Our Lady, letters from Deacon Kabat, youth art, The Dumplings comics, and much more. Each copy costs approximately $1–2 to print. Your gift helps place these resources into the hands of young Catholics while keeping Youth Guild enrollment completely free for every family. For families with several children, your generosity helps make it possible for each child to receive their own copy of Full of Grace.

All support helps us continue this mission—bringing the light of Christ to children and families across the country at no cost to them.
