Dear Readers,
Welcome to the second issue of NOMAD!
The mission of NOMAD is to provide a media outreach to young adults, while embracing Pope Benedicts call to step forward and become leaders in our homes and communi-ties by utilizing our skills and faith.
This issue is filled with stories of young adults who have felt called to discover their talents, travel the world and learn how to love and be loved. We hope that our mes-sage, changing hearts changing the world, will resonate with you and that you will share what you read with friends & family.
We look forward to your feedback as we continue to develop NOMAD~

OFF THE BEATEN PATH
Austin, TexasLive Music Capital
of the WorldA bold statement, perhaps, but if worthiness of title is measured by the number of estab-lishments hosting local talent every night, then Austin is not only worthy, it has set the stan-dard.
Home of the world-famous Austin City Lim-its Music Festival (taking place in October this year) Austin takes pride in its music as well as its diversity.

For students, the various universities offer many services. UT is located just up the street from St. Austins Catholic Church and also has a large & lively Catholic student center, of-fering daily Mass, holy hour, and adoration, as well as other campus groups and nightly events. According to campus minister Lindsay Wilcox, the Catholic student community at UT is very involved, and even includes Catho-lic fraternities and sororities.
Off-campus, young adults may have to look a little harder for like-minded peers, but out-reaches are largely parish based and easy to plug into. The Diocese sponsors several events including retreats and monthly Theology on Tap (ToT) sessions where speakers, both local-ly and nationally known, welcome 18-35 year olds at local restaurants and pubs, where they discuss various issues and Catholic teachings.
