Season 2 of the Salesian Youth Leaders Academyโs The Well ended on a high note with the 4th session held at Don Bosco Batulao. More than 130 youth leaders from 11 Salesian youth centers gathered together for enrichment and respite amid the cold mountain winds of Batangas.
The day began with a brown bag session on persuasive marketing by Academy executive director Mr. Jerricho Reynaldo. Fr. Noel Sumagui, SDB of the Commission on Youth Ministry then revitalized Salesian Youth Spirituality among the participants, following an animation activity in the retreat house lobby.
In groups, the youth leaders shared insights on their roles in embodying SYS, before capping the sessions with Eucharistic adoration, confession, and scriptural reflection led by Fr. Drans Nolasco, SDB of Don Bosco Batulao.
The day concluded with the awarding of certificates and tokens to leaders who were able to complete the entire season run from 2024 to 2025.
