PAPAR: Young Catholics in Sabah continue to walk together in the spirit of synodality and helping the Church in her mission of living and proclaiming the Gospel in our lives and communities. Always bring Jesus, who lives in us, to preach to others, urged Archbishop John Wong during his speech.
More than 200 youth from the three arch/ dioceses in Sabah gathered at the Church of St Joseph for the launch of the sixth Sabah Youth Day (SYD-6), November 3-4.
Archbishop John Wong celebrated the opening Mass as he welcomed all the delegates from the Archdiocese of Kota Kinabalu, Keningau and Sandakan.
In his homily, the archbishop touched on the theme of SYD-6 taken from Luke 1:39: Mary arose and went with haste.
“As baptised Catholics, we are called to reflect Christ and be sent. We too are to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world today, to bring the Good News to others,” said Archbishop John to the young people.
The prelate reminded them to always emulate Mother Mary in being faithful to their call and to stand firm as witnesses of Christ in this generation.
SYD-6 will take place at St Francis Xavier Cathedral, Keningau in 2024. Although no exact date has been decided, the main organising team hope it will be held in August/September 2024, targeting participants aged between 15 to 45 years to join this big five-day event.
SYD 6 was launched with the cutting of the SYD ribbon by Archbishop John and video screening of the SYD 6 logo and theme song.
