Last ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ต-๐ฏ๐ญ, ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฒ, the ๐ฌ๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ด๐ฏ๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐ฐ๐ผ๐ด๐ผ๐ป gathered for the ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ป-๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ต๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ, proving that even when we are separated by distance, we can still be united in faith, fellowship, and purpose. ๐๐
The ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ด ๐จ๐ฝ๐๐ผ๐๐ป and ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ผ๐ผ๐ด ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐น๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ came together at ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ต, while the ๐๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐น๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ held its joint camp at ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ต. At the same time, youth from ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ. ๐๐ป๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ต, ๐ง๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, and ๐ฅ๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ ๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป gathered in their respective areas, creating one diocesan celebration happening across multiple venues.
The camp was filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable memories. Through exciting team-building activities, delegates discovered the importance of trust, communication, perseverance, and teamwork. The Youth Orientation Program also helped participants deepen their understanding of our Church through discussions on IFI History, YIFI History, the Nature and Characteristics of YIFI, and the YIFI Constitution and By-Laws. The Cathedral cluster also held a special discussion for their delegates on HIV-AIDS Awareness. This kind of discussion helps break the stigma and allowing the youth to be more aware of the current situation in the community.
More than the games and lectures, the camp became a reminder that every young person has a place in God's mission. Friendships were formed, faith was strengthened, and hearts were inspired to serve.
As it is written in ๐ฃ๐๐ฎ๐น๐บ ๐ญ๐ฏ๐ฏ:๐ญ, "๐๐ฐ๐ธ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ช๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ'๐ด ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ช๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐บ!"
In a world that often pulls people apart, may it be because of difference or distance, this camp reminded us that true unity is not about being in the same place. It is about sharing the same faith, the same hope, and the same commitment to serve God and His people. Even in five different venues, we remained one YIFI Sugbongcogon.
To our clergy, facilitators, youth leaders, host parishes and missions, and every delegates who made this gathering possible, thank you for your time, energy, and dedication. ๐
The camp may be over, but the mission continues. May the lessons we learned, the friendships we built, and the faith we shared continue to guide us as we live out our calling:
