One day, the days of serving will
become memories.

The moments we spend at the altar.

The prayers we offer, the songs we sing.
And the little acts of service we give to
God will become precious reminders of His grace working through us.

So value every moment while you still can.

Never take for granted the privilege of
serving in the Church, because every opportunity to serve is a gift from God.

What may seem like a simple duty today may become a beautiful memory of love, faith, and devotion tomorrow.

There will come a time when we will look back and remember the days when we stood before the altar, served with joy, and gave our time for the Lord.

May we cherish these moments and offer our best, not for recognition, but because we love Jesus.

Serve with a grateful heart, pray with sincerity, and treasure every moment God allows you to be part of His mission.

The memories we create in serving Him will always remind us of the beautiful journey of faith He has given us.🤍😇

National Financial Secretary Supports Youth Catechesis in Makeni Diocese with YOUCAT Books

Makeni, Sierra Leone — The National Financial Secretary has donated hundreds of copies of the YOUCAT (Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church) to young people across the Catholic Diocese of Makeni, as part of an ongoing effort to strengthen Catholic faith formation and encourage young people to deepen their understanding of the teachings of the Church.

The YOUCAT books have been distributed to hundreds of young people in various outstations across the Diocese, while copies have also been presented to youth presidents from several parishes within Makeni City. The initiative is intended to provide young Catholics with accessible resources that can support their personal prayer life, catechesis, Bible reflection, and understanding of the Catholic faith.

The donation was made by Crusader Emmanuel Stephen Koroma, the National Financial Secretary, who has consistently demonstrated a commitment to youth formation and the promotion of the Catholic faith among young people.

Speaking on the initiative, the Diocesan Chaplain expressed appreciation to Crusader Emmanuel Stephen Koroma for his generosity and commitment to supporting young people. The Chaplain noted that the donation comes at an important time when the Church continues to encourage young Catholics to become more knowledgeable, active, and responsible participants in the life and mission of the Church.

The Chaplain further thanked Crusader Koroma for extending his support beyond individual parish activities and contributing to the wider development of young people within the Diocese of Makeni and the Catholic Church in Sierra Leone.

The distribution of the YOUCAT books is expected to encourage more structured youth catechesis within parishes and outstations, giving young people an opportunity to study the Catholic faith individually and collectively.

Pope Leo XIV lamented Wednesday that prayer is no longer being passed on in many Christian families and urged the faithful to rediscover it as a fundamental dimension of human life.

"In our time, in contexts dominated by an efficiency-driven and consumerist mindset, prayer may seem pointless and trivial," the pope said during his Aug. 5 general audience.

"In a world where science and technology claim to provide all the answers, praying may appear to be a form of escapism," he continued.

Leo resumed his weekly public audience after suspending most of his official schedule during the traditional July summer break. Because of Rome’s high summer temperatures, the audience was held inside St. Peter’s Basilica.

Continuing his catechetical series on the Second Vatican Council, the pope focused on the ecclesial dimension of liturgical prayer as presented in the conciliar constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium.

He warned that prayer is increasingly misunderstood, including within Christian homes.

"Furthermore, even in many Christian families, the tradition of prayer is no longer passed on, whilst many people risk confusing it with just another technique, of a psychological nature aimed at personal well-being," he said.

"Prayer, however, as a fundamental dimension of our humanity, is worth rediscovering in its true form."

Leo said Sacrosanctum Concilium took this need seriously. He recalled the words of St. Paul VI when the constitution became the first document promulgated by the Second Vatican Council on Dec. 4, 1963.

"God comes first; prayer is our primary duty; the liturgy is the primary source of the divine life communicated to us, the primary school of our spiritual life," Paul VI said at the time.

Leo explained that the word "prayer" in the constitution refers to the liturgy as a whole. This understanding, he said, proved decisive in guiding the liturgical reform and placing the active participation of the faithful at its center.

"The liturgy is presented first

The official one-year countdown to World Youth Day Seoul 2027 has begun.

From August 3–8, 2027, young Catholics from every continent will gather in South Korea’s capital with Pope Leo XIV for the first World Youth Day of his pontificate.

This historic edition will be the first held in a country where Christians are a minority, and only the second in Asia after the massive 1995 gathering in Manila. The theme, chosen by Pope Francis and confirmed for the event, is taken from John 16:33: “Take courage! I have overcome the world.”

Pilgrims will first spend July 29–August 2 in the “Days in the Dioceses” across Korea’s 15 dioceses, living with local families and experiencing the vibrant faith of the Korean Church. The main events in Seoul will include the Opening Mass, papal welcome, catechesis, Way of the Cross, Youth Festival, overnight vigil, and the Closing Mass with the Holy Father.

The five patron saints accompanying the youth are St. John Paul II (founder of WYD), St. Andrew Kim Taegon and the Korean martyrs, St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, St. Josephine Bakhita, and St. Carlo Acutis.

Organizers have already released the official theme song and launched a global tree-planting campaign inspired by Laudato Si’. Registration is expected to open later this year.

As the Church in Korea prepares to welcome the world, the message is clear: in a secular age and a divided nation, Christ has already overcome the world. Young people are called to take courage and become witnesses of hope.

Are you already dreaming of Seoul 2027? Will you go, or will you walk with the young people of your parish in prayer and preparation?

St. John Paul II, pray for us. Amen! 🙏

Archbishop John Bonaventure Kwofie of Ghana’s Catholic Archdiocese of Accra has called on Priests, Religious, and lay faithful across the Metropolitan See to prepare spiritually and materially for what he describes as a defining moment in the life of the Catholic Church in Ghana, as the country prepares to host nearly 4,000 young Catholics from across West Africa for the West Africa Youth Days (WAYD) 2026.

In a pastoral letter issued July 11, Archbishop Kwofie appealed for the support of the faithful as Ghana prepares for the gathering from September 7–11 at Achimota School in Accra.

The event is expected to bring together young Catholics from countries that make up the Regional Episcopal Conference of West Africa (RECOWA) for prayer, catechesis, cultural exchange, and missionary formation.

“This is a huge task for the Catholic Church in Ghana,” Archbishop Kwofie said, emphasizing that hosting the regional gathering is both “a privilege and a responsibility” for the local Church.

He explained that although approximately 4,000 participants are expected, each participating country has been allocated a maximum of 100 youth delegates, accompanied by Bishops, Archbishops, and other representatives, to ensure that available facilities can adequately accommodate all pilgrims.

Beyond logistical preparations, the Catholic Archbishop urged Catholics to embrace the event as an opportunity to live out the Gospel through generous hospitality.

“Our Bishops in Ghana have asked us to host our youths from West Africa and their counterparts from all the dioceses and archdioceses in Ghana,” he said.

Archbishop Kwofie emphasized that welcoming the pilgrims should go beyond providing accommodation.

“It requires us to show our spiritual preparedness by not only welcoming them from their countries but making them feel at home,” the Ghanaian member of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans/Holy Ghost Fathers/CSSp.) said.

He said the gathering offers the Church in Ghana
