SAN FRANCISCO (CNS) -- According to participants at the third National Catholic Young Adult Conference in San Francisco, the Aug. 4-6 gathering provided a heady mix of learning, faith-sharing and fun experiences for young adults around the country as well as those who work in young adult ministry. This mix was captured in a lively BustedHalo.com podcast featuring Paulist Father Dave Dwyer and co-host Mike Hayes during a lunch break Aug. 5. "We try to cover the basic questions related to faith in a relevant and entertaining way," said Father Dwyer, director of Paulist Young Adult Ministries and publisher of BustedHalo.com, an online magazine for people in their 20s and 30s. Hayes is BustedHalo's managing editor. He also gave the keynote address on the first day of the conference, which was held at the Jesuit-run University of San Francisco.
