Catholic News Agency: Olympic cross-country skier Rebecca Dussault recently spoke to a large crowd of young adults in Denver, exhorting them to put their Catholic faith above everything else in life.
“Be Catholic first and anything that flows from that is a rich bonus,” she said in Feb. 10 talk given at Katie Mullen’s Irish Pub in downtown Denver as part of the archdiocese’s Theology on Tap program.

“We’re going to be looking up to you,” she said. More here.
