Dec 16, 2019

At this camp, I learned how to be a faithful Catholic. I also gained experience on leadership qualities and garnered ideas on how to bring up a Youth Ministry and serve better in this ministry.--Velma Suresh Dass, 16 (Skudai Catholic Centre)

The Youth Rally was a great way to have fun and an amazing way to make friends. You get really close to God and I can feel the change in me.--Nicholas Giam Sheng Keat, 14 (Church of St Joseph, Plentong)

This camp is a great way to unite the youths of different parishes. The sessions were very insightful and I made lots of friends. Indeed it was a great experience for me and I hope that more youth rallies such as this will be organised in the future.--Tiffany Ann William, 16 (Church of the Immaculate Conception (CIC), Johor Bahru)

This camp was spiritually stimulating and informative. It touched on topics not usually discussed and it was good to know the Catholic point of view of certain topics. I learnt quite a bit at this camp.--Jamie Aishirya Kumar,16 Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Johor Bahru

The talks given by the speakers indeed touched me. I was able to strengthen my faith. The healing moment was indeed solemn and touching. I will continue serving in the youth ministry in my parish.--Noel Gabriel Xavier, 17 Church of Christ the King, Kulai

It was a fun-filled experience for me to cherish. The talks and sharing sessions were remarkable. I hope the organisers will consider having more of such camps.--Harresh Raphael Selvam,16 (Church  of  St. Theresa, Masai)

I am indeed delighted to have participated in this camp. I used this opportunity to connect better with God and made new acquaintances. I was also able to understand my faith better and am truly blessed to have been selected for this camp.--Priscillia Padma Pireeyaa,15 (Church of the Holy Family, Ulu Tiram)

Despite the many challenges we faced when organising this rally, like commitments and obligations, we placed God in the centre of the team and camp. We were able to strive against all obstacles that came our  way. We hope participants had benefitted at this camp and will carry the cross and be the next chapter of  the Church. --Ryan Joseph Netto, 22 (Church of the Immaculate Conception (CIC), Johor  Bahru)

I felt very blessed as I knew God was sending me a message to join in this Youth Ministry. As part of the organising team, I didn’t know what to expect. It was an opportunity for me to prove myself as a leader and a role model to others. I could feel God’s presence throughout the Rally and He would have touched the lives of the participants during the three days. -- Megan Leo Siang Ee,18 (Church of the Immaculate Conception (CIC), Johor Bahru)
