The BeatiDudes were invited back for another year at the Dallas Catholic Youth Conference, where Fr. Augustino Torres, CFR, leaves the mainstage to visit with Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein.

Fr. Augustino is a priest with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and co-founder of Corazón Puro. Fr. Augustino is also the principal author of REAL Formation, an enculturated Confirmation program produced by Corazón Puro. In addition to his writing and leadership roles, he serves as a retreat guide, spiritual director, and an international youth and young adult speaker.

Fr. Augustino shares his childhood journey of growing up in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and eventually living in the New York area as part of his religious vocation. He shares the message from his keynote address at the conference and how excited he is to see all the kids fired up for their faith.

The Dallas Catholic Youth Conference is an annual event for high school students across the Diocese of Dallas to encounter Jesus. The weekend provides opportunities for high schoolers to dive deeper into their faith through prayer (Mass, Adoration, Worship, etc.), talks from national and local speakers, and experiencing the Catholic community present in Dallas. Teens are invited to deepen their relationship with Jesus through powerful speakers, high-energy praise and worship music, vibrant liturgies, recreation, Reconciliation, and Adoration.
