Monica Burke

¡Hola! Me llamo Mónica Burke. (That means "Hi! My name is Monica Burke" in Spanish!) I’m a high school junior at Danville Area High School. I belong to St. Joseph’s Church, where I have become a "jack of all trades" so to speak; I’m a psalmist, lector, leader of song, Youth Band member, and a Core Team leader for our Youth Ministry. In school, I play in the band, cheer for the Varsity football squad, and serve as secretary of the Drama Club. I also participate in Spanish Club and the school’s literary magazine – two clubs that will hopefully come in handy this World Youth Day!
I was already excited for WYD Madrid before I heard about the chance to serve as a correspondent, but when I was presented with the opportunity, I couldn’t have been more thrilled! I love sharing my faith with others, especially when it involves using the talents the Lord has entrusted to me. I can’t wait to experience the Body of Christ in an entirely new way as we journey through the streets of Madrid this August. Not only will I be able to participate in this huge event, but I will be reflecting on it, as well as sharing it with all of you. United in Christ, we will meet Him together, whether in Spain or here in the Diocese of Harrisburg!
