Jun 30, 2023

TERENGGANU: The Catholic Students’ Society (CSS) recently organised a rejuvenating healing camp for its youth, focused on the theme “Faith in YOUth” based on John 14:1- 12, “I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life.”

The camp aimed to provide the students with a stress-free environment while strengthening their faith and spiritual connection. The camp commenced with an opening prayer and a warm welcome from the students. Soon after, preparations began for animating Mass scheduled for the following day.

After Mass the students’ had an insightful talk on the Faith Journey by Nurse Joan, at the convent. they also recited the Divine Mercy Chaplet and had Praise and Worship segments.

The young people also watched a movie “A Week Away” which depicted the life of Will Hawkins, a troubled orphaned teenage boy with a challenging spiritual background. His life took a turn when his adoptive parents sent him for a spiritual camp, and Will learnt to be more open to others and embraced a life centred around God.

Later, the group gathered for a meaningful meditation session, seeking inner healing through the recitation of prayers and worship hymns. This hour of devotion and self-reflection culminated in a powerful moment of reconciliation among the campers, promoting unity and forgiveness.

On the final day, the campers embarked on an excursion to the picturesque Lata Kolam River. This outdoor activity aimed to foster an appreciation for the tranquil beauty of God’s creation and encourage a deep connection with nature. The day concluded with a heartfelt closing prayer, as the participants bid farewell and returned to their respective homes.
