1997

Cardinal O'Connor established 1997 as "The Year of Evangelization with Youth", making it a special year for the FYA. In observance of this special year, the FYA served as lectors, petitions readers and altar servers in the second Filipino Apostolate Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, celebrated by Bishop Brucato. The Samahang Filipino of Lehman College, under the direction of Rommel Milañez, performed a liturgical dance during the offertory. One of the highlights of the mass was the rendition of "Tell the World of His Love", the theme song of the X World Youth Day in Manila, by the youth and children's choir, under the direction of Jennifer Mercado.

In August 1997, several members of the FYA attended the XII World Youth Day in Paris, France. It was a wonderful opportunity for the young people to meet other young Catholics from around the world and, of course, to pray and celebrate the mass with the Pope.
