CATHOLIC YOUTH ORGANIZATION-OUR LADY OF LOURDES UNIT ENDORSES CRU VICTOR G.P JOHNNY FOR PRESIDENT OF THE CYO SIERRA LEONE IN THE 2024 NATIONAL YOUTH ELECTION.
Dear Crusaders,
We bring you fraternal greetings from our Lord Jesus Christ and our Patron Saint John Bosco.
As the election for the National Executive Committee of our beloved CYO draws close, as a unit we endorse the candidature of our very own Snr Crusader Victor G.P Johnny.
Been his parish of origin, Cru Victor served as the first Chairperson of the unit setting triblazing foundation standards that contributed to the growth of youths in the unit and Parish as a whole till date.
We 100% support the decision of taking the mantle of leadership as the First Gentleman of CYO in Sierra Leone due to the fact that he has exhibited exceptional leadership traits in different facets of the local church in Sierra Leone ranging from him been an animator at Holy Childhood in his parish and Diocese to him serving the lectors, Choir and knight of alter ministries where he took various leadership roles and showed commitment as a very young fella.
As a dynamic youth, he joined the youth ministry in the diocese and has been a pace setter carrying the youth charism like many others in a very diligent way.
In addition he was part of the leadership of the conjoined St. Theresa and Madonna CYO, he raised funds in several ways and won many competitions including “African king” way back, further was a very active member of the widely known Salesian Youth Movement of Don Bosco within and outside Sierra Leone. Not forgetting his ever memorable contributions to YCS-SL during his school days and CATHSCO during his days at Njala.
He remains an influential figure in his parish as founding members of the unit and a devoted leader.
He is widely regarded in his diocese as he also served a Diocesan Secretary General of CYO where he was very instrumental. He is also the outgoing Treasurer for CYO at National level.
Today, we have no doubts in him vying for the National Presidency as his leadership prowess are exquisite, we believe he has a great manifesto and will deliver!!
We believe that he is hardworking, resilient and is goal oriented to create a positive impact in the youth community as always.
He is passionate about things that concerns youth and have shown that through the nook and cranny of CYO Sierra Leone. In him we trust to have a vibrant and “Don Bosco like” CYO-Sl.
We implore every Crusader (delegate) to make the right choice by voting in Victor, a decision we will ever be grateful we made!
