Christ the King – World Youth Day

Dec 08, 2023

KOTA KINABALU: Approximately 50 youth from the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Church of Mary Immaculate, St Paul Dontozidon as well as from the parishes of St Simon Likas, Our Lady Queen of Peace Kobusak, and St John the Baptist Kopungit came together to celebrate World Youth Day!

Embracing the spirit of World Youth Day!
At the Church of Jesus Caritas, in Kuala Lumpur, Clarise Tan and Ashley Patrick relived the joy and inspiration after their unforgettable pilgrimage to Lisbon, Portugal for World Youth Day 2023.

The celebration was marked by fellowship and followed by sharing by the pilgrims. The hope is that more young people would be inspired to attend World Youth Day in 2027 in South Korea!

SFX Youth on Fire!
In honour of the Feast of St Francis Xavier (SFX), the Youth Committee of SFX Church in Petaling Jaya organised activities for the youth. This successful event commenced with two formative sessions discussing Spiritual Conversation, followed by Finding God in All Things. It concluded with an Ignatian experiment guided by UAP principles, encouraging youth to step outside their comfort zones. They gained fresh perspectives, experiencing everything anew in Christ.

These fruitful sessions culminated in a closing Mass, with a powerful message from Fr Alvin Ng SJ to all parishioners, “we are creating a hope-filled future.”
