On Saturday October 6, the Diocesan Middle School Rally took place at Loyola College Prep.  Keynote speaker, Mr. Sal Solo of Bolingbrook, IL left the students with a message that said “having a relationship with Jesus is the way to build a life”. He also expressed to the students that with the guidance of Jesus Christ they can accomplish great things in their lives.  Mr. Frank Israel, another speaker, also gave an important message; he spoke on the top ten reasons for a good education. Sister Pat Rhoten spoke to them about the Book of the Judges, presented us with another view of God’s love for the resourceful, the romantic and the comical story. Dusty Dixon’s speech was about living out loud, and living life in the spirit of Christ. Paul Kielwasser’s speech was entitled “who are you really, and does he know you”. Each one of these speaker gave an inspiring message to capture the life of the Youths.
