With grateful and joyful hearts, we are hopeful and delighted to announce the realization of the ๐ญ๐ฏ๐๐ต ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐, to be hosted by the ๐ฅ๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ป, in the vibrant, ascending city, and home of the Balangays, Butuan City. This congress will gather youth leaders from the different arch/dioceses in the CABUSTAMPRO Sub-Region. It is a biennial gathering that serves as an avenue for a renewed integral evangelization, prayerful reflections and sharing of best practices for a more dynamic, meaningful and collaborative ministering the youth in the local setting.
Inspired by the theme โ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ: ๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐, ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ฒ๐โ, takes its inspiration on the theme for the 41st WYD taking place in Seoul, South Korea, the triennium celebration of the Diocese of Butuan for its 60th Anniversary, Pastoral Thrust of the Diocese of Butuan in the spirit of Synodality. The theme highlights that a deep foundation in hope (Romans 12:12) cultivated by a transformed heart (Ezekiel 36:26) empowers youth to live with courage and share their personal stories of faith.
The congress will take place on ๐๐๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฐ-๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฒ, at ๐๐ฟ. ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ผ ๐จ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐ ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ โ ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐๐.
