Psalm 2 calls the rebellion of the nations; Matthew 17 reveals the King in radiant glory. Refuge isn’t retreat; it’s courage under the banner of the Anointed One, armored by the Word as a sword. Will you stand with the Lamb when the clash comes to your door?

Latino youth drift from tradition, but a group treats faith as mission and rhythm, not rebellion. When the Word meets culture with mercy, hearts rally to the gospel banner. See evidence. What moves these youths to stay, serve, and invite others?
Latinos are leaving the church. This youth group is turning the tide.
Immigrants from Latin America and their children are transforming the Catholic Church in the United States. What that transformation looks like is still being worked out.
