On July 24-25, 2024, the CYM of Nuestra Sra. De Lourdes Chapel, Buluan, from San Blas Parish Youth Ministry District 3, conducted their first-ever Chapel Youth Gathering. Participated by the chapel youth members, the CYM Officers, and District 3 YM Facilitators organized an activity that will surely have an impact on the lives of the young Catholic youths who had experienced the said activity.
With the theme, "Who Am I?: Discovering Purpose, Searching for Identity, and Answering the Call to our Roles in God's Plan," the youths were introduced to different things that will help build and strengthen their identity as part of the Youth Ministry. Various talks revolving around the roles of youths in the community and church were delivered to help young people understand more about their role as members of the ministry. Different activities were also given, including team building activities and socialization, for the youths to have more engagement during the camp.
During the night activity, participants gathered around to pray the Holy Rosary and a prayer vigil was also done after it. The main purpose of this is to help the youths realize the main purpose of being a youth member with their faith as their guide to this journey.
With all of the aforementioned happenings, the camp aims to guide the youths, especially the newbies to feel welcomed in the ministry, by instilling in them the basic knowledge that they need to know as youth members. Other than that, it also focuses on bringing them closer to God and the church.
It was indeed an amazing experience that surely made lasting memories for the youths, which will guide them to grow in the ministry. Our appreciation to the CYM Officers of the said chapel and the District 3 YM Facilitators for their efforts for the success of the activity!
