The Sandakan Diocese Youth Apostolate Coordinator (SDYA), Sr Noemi Mejia, FSIC visited St Dominic parish on April 24 the parish’s youth apostolic team. Also present was the former Youth Coordinator, Anna Teresa Peter Amandus.

St Dominic Parish is Sr Noemi’s second stopover in the Sandakan Diocese after Holy Trinity Parish, Tawau.

The Youth Apostolate of St Dominic, who is also the spiritual advisor, Sr Jadine Guiterrez, FSIC, welcomed them on their arrival to St Augustine Convent.

The session began with praise and worship, followed by the opening prayer led by Nofie Tokan.

To liven up the atmosphere, they continued with an ‘ice breaking’ session by Martinus Simon which included some indoor games.

After that, Sr Noemi introduced herself and her role in the Youth Apostolate Team. Then, each member of the St Dominic parish youth apostolate team took turns to introduce themselves.

Sr Noemi also told them, “God calls you to become His follower and to do His mission, not because you are educated or you have a great personality, you are called because you are not perfect.”

This introduction and dialogue session ended with a closing prayer and a group photo, followed by lunch.
