Youth Encounter
Krizial Leal
A youth encounter was held May 12-14, 2003 at the Lorenzo Mission Institute, San Carlos Seminary, Makati. Thirty youth participants from the FCCY Damar, San Jose de Troso, St. Peter, Mary the Queen, and St. Jude chapters underwent the three-day, two night affair. Talks were centered on the following topics: God's Love and His Plan for Us, Who is Jesus Christ, Repentance and Faith, Growing in the Spirit, and Healing and Forgiveness, with speakers Fr. Gary Fuentebella, LRMS, Dolores Quieng, Richard Uy, Judianne Ang, and Fr. Peterson Tieng, LRMS.
Lively action songs were used to gather the participants before each session. After each talk, one of the youth facilitators shared a personal experience for a more concrete understanding of the topic. The participants were also divided into small care groups for the sharings. Priests were available for the sacrament of reconciliation during the first night, while there was a praise and worship an empowerment session on the second night. The encounter ended with a Eucharistic celebration and lunch with the participants' families.
