Jen and Scott will discuss this unique retreat, and how they are using it to teach young people about issues faced by their peers in the developing world and also to encourage the young people to take action on behalf of the poor and hungry. Participants will also raise money to donate to CRS.

CatholicTV will also air videos promoting Food Fast during lent.

This is the Day airs at 10:30AM ET at CatholicTV.com and on CatholicTV cable outlets. The show is rebroadcast at 7:30PM and other times during the week.
