WYD CELEBRATION 2023
On August 1st – 6th 2023, we joined the world to celebrate the world youth day. While the bigger countries celebrate the event in Lisbon, we here celebrate it in Takwa Parish in the Northern end of Malaita. A total of 4 parishes under the Northern Auki Diocese came together in the celebration with a total of 2000 youths.
During the week-long celebration, the youths have the opportunity to participate in Mass prayers everyday. Also talks are given to youths by specific speakers who offered presentations on topics of
* spiritual life
* law and order
* Health
* Vocation to Priesthood and religious life
After each presentation each day, the youths go out to engage in sports, games of soccer, volleyball and netball. The event ends on Sunday, 6th of August, with Holy Mass, followed with presentation of the winning Parishes for the World youth day game; the program ends and the youths return to their respective parishes.
With wishes and regards to you all!
Yours sincerely in Christ !
Fr. Albert Kalu
