Featured Saint of the Day: Bl. Emmanuel Ruiz & Companions
Guests: Brooke & Anne Merschman, Ryan McClish, St. Pius X Youth Group

Today Brooke & Ryan, recent high school graduates, talked about their upcoming mission trip with the St. Pius X Youth Group to Parkersburg, Iowa. Parkersburg was hit by a devastating tornado on May 25 and are in the process of rebuilding the town. The St. Pius X Youth Group will be helping out by rebuilding structures and bringing supplies and finances. The group will consist of 13 young people and 15 adults. Anne, Brooke's mother, provided us with a parents' perspective on the trip during the show also. The group will leave for Parkersburg on Saturday, July 12 and, after a hard weeks' work, will return on Saturday, July 19.
