The Holy Family Parish Youth organised IGNITE 3.0, a day-long session for all youth members and newly confirmed youth of the parish in collaboration with the Diocesan Youth Centre at Deepti Sadan, Porvorim, recently.
The IGNITE (In God’s Name I Triumph Everyday) event was held to motivate youngsters to grow in team spirit and to bring new youngsters to experience the youth ministry. The Event Coordinator Elisa Michael welcomed the youth and they later participated in the Holy Eucharist celebrated by Fr Blaise Lobo and con-celebrated by Fr Alfi D’Cruz.
In his homily, Fr Blaise spoke about the Manipur riots and the suffering of the people there. He advised the youth not to be afraid when such things happen, but to should trust in God at all times. After Mass, DYC members comprising Sanford Mascarenhas, Swenny Gomes, Dr Nashvelli Fulero and Jaff Rodrigues took over with an animation session.
This was followed by a talk on ‘Youth Ministry - What the Youth is all about’ by Fr Blaise Lobo. Dr Nashvelli Fulero then shared her experience on joining the parish youth and the Diocesan Youth Centre. Youth Asst Coordinator Kylie Finch thanked the DYC members and they were felicitated with tokens of appreciation by Fr Alfi, Youth Coordinator Clive D’Souza and Event Coordinator Elisa Michael.
