Being a Catholic in our world is kind of a big deal. As in… you’re quite a rare breed. A unicorn of sorts. We know there are many people who feel like they are the only one in their school, or in their dorm, or walking down the street who is Catholic. That has the potential to really wear you down and get you discouraged, doesn’t it?
Well here’s tip #1 you rare, beautiful unicorn of a Catholic teen or young adult — surrounding yourself with Catholic things is an amazing way to 1) remind yourself what you stand for on a daily basis, 2) be a subtle witness of your faith to others, 3) be a not-so-subtle witness of your faith to others when they ask about your cool, Catholic stuff, and 4) remind yourself that God, His angels and saints, and the rest of the worldwide community of the Catholic Church are praying for you and supporting you.
