SANDAKAN – Members of the Sandakan Diocese Youth Apostolate (SDYA) met online recently to discuss the second series of the Sandakan Diocesan Youth Festival (TBK 2). The first series was held in August 2019, with the participation of 450 youths from all over Sandakan diocese.
This meeting was to discuss organising activities and programmes at the diocese level. After almost two years of virtual activity, the youth were excited to come together and embrace the friendship.
SDYA took this initiative to jointly organise the second series of the Diocesan Youth Festival that will be held from Aug 28 till Sept 1 at St Mary’s Cathedral. The theme is Mary arose and went with haste, taken from Luke 1:39.
The Main Organising Team (MOT) had their first virtual meeting on Jan 25 to highlight the issues faced by the youths in their respective places and the rationale for organising TBK 2.
Among the youth, there are those who desire to serve but do not know how or where to begin. There are also those who are comfortable in their space and not active in their parish. The MOT agreed that these issues need to be addressed so that the youths will not drift away.
We pray that the main organising team of TBK 2 be given the wisdom to see, evaluate and plan programmes according to the current needs. – Herald Malaysia
