CYON-CADEK DYD 2026: A Day of Faith, Energy, and True Empowerment!
Yesterday, April 12th, 2026 the vibrant youths of Ekwulobia Diocese took over St. Anthony's Catholic Church, Nanka, for the 2026 Diocesan Youth Day, and the energy was absolutely unmatched!
We kicked off the day exactly how we should with a deeply spirit-filled 11am Mass. It set the perfect foundation of grace and unity before we transitioned into the core activities of the day.
Hosted under the spiritual guidance of our shepherd, His Eminence, Peter Ebere Cardinal Okpaleke, and guided seamlessly by our Chairman of the occasion, Engr. Chris Ejimofor, the entire program was a massive success.
This wasn’t just a regular gathering; it was a powerful session of empowerment and upliftment. From the heartfelt messages to the shared fellowship, every CYONite present was reminded of their immense potential, their strength in faith, and the bright future ahead of them.
And of course, it wouldn't be a youth day without the massive joy, the dances, and the beautiful representation from all the deaneries! The youths showed up, showed out, and celebrated our faith with absolute pride.
A massive shoutout to the DYD Committee led by Mr. Cletus Ezeokonkwo, Diocesan President; Mr. Francisco Okodo, and our Chaplain Rev. Fr. Peter Nwobodo for putting together such an impactful and well-organized experience.
The fire has been ignited. We are stepping into the rest of 2026 empowered and uplifted!
Other dignitries at the event were Dr. Chibueze Ofobuike, Mayor Aguata LGA, Hon. Mmaduabuchi Ezekafor, Former SA to the Anambra State Governor on Finance, Chief of Staff to the Mayor of Orumba South Local Government, Rt. Hon. Okwudili Ezenwankwo (Ewepudike na Nanka), Hon.
