The Diocesan Youth Centre held its “Day with the Lord” on 23rd March, at Jesus Mary and Joseph Parish in Nuvem. The theme of the day was, ‘Hope will not disappoint you!’ Youngsters had a meaningful spiritual experience and upliftment in their spirit, filling their hearts with hope and joy.
About 800 youngsters attended from 60 different parishes. The day began with praise & worship followed by an input session delivered by Fr. Reagan Fernandes, Director of the VCDC. Fr. Blaise delved more into the theme during a unique penitential rite with ‘a yellow ribbon on a cross’ in the Eucharistic celebration. The participants engaged in crafting a paper cross along with praying for each other during the evening activity.
It was a spiritually fruitful day with youngsters praying, singing, and making new friends. With the collaboration of the parish priest Fr. Vital and his assistants Fr. Venancio and Fr. Joephil with the help of youth volunteers of Nuvem Parish and the DYC Team, the programme was grace filled and spiritually nourishing. For every youngster who was part of this ‘Day with the Lord’ has returned with beautiful memories.
