Our 33rd Anniversary was filled with joy, laughter, unity, and unforgettable memories.

Seeing every youth smile, participate, and enjoy the celebration proved that the spirit of YAF continues to burn brightly in every chapter and every heart. Behind every successful activity were hardworking officers especially to our YAF Archdiocesan President Vince Bariquit, thank you for your dedication in making this anniversary successful. Also, to our volunteers, coordinators, alumni, to the WAF members who gave their full support Γ nd for being there, thank you so much. To all the members who offered their time and effort just to make this event meaningful and memorable. Truly, this celebration became a reflection of unity in diversity β one faith, one mission, one Marian family. π€
But amidst the happiness of the celebration came a heartfelt moment that touched everyone deeply β the despidida for our beloved Spiritual Director, Fr. Jerald Noval Pinay π
Father, thank you for becoming a guiding light to the youth. Thank you for your patience, wisdom, encouragement, and unwavering support to every member of YAF. Through your words and actions, many young people were inspired to become closer to God and to Mama Mary. You became more than a priest to us β you became a father, mentor, and spiritual inspiration.
Though goodbyes are never easy, we know that God has greater plans for your journey in priesthood and mission. Wherever your vocation leads you, always remember that the YAF family will continue praying for you and carrying the lessons you have shared with us. Your presence may be missed, but your impact in our hearts will forever remain. β¨
