Directress,
The peace and joy brought by the Risen Christ be with us
all!
Dear young people, the Church depends on you! She needs your
lively faith, your creative charity and the energy of your hope.
Your presence renews, rejuvenates and gives new energy to the
Church. That is why the World Youth Days are a grace, not only for
you, but for the entire people of God. (Message of His Holiness
Pope Benedict XVI for the 26th World Youth Day)The gathering of
young people from all walks of life to celebrate and proclaim the
Good News of our Salvation brings about great joy and hope for our
church. In this regard, the San Pablo Youth Commission together
with the young people of our diocese will be joining the entire
Christendom in celebrating the 26th World Youth Days with a 2-part
World Youth Day of our own. This will be held on August 20-21,
2011, coinciding with the World Youth Days held in Madrid,
Spain.
The first part of the program is a Vicariate-level gathering
which would include the participation of all the schools, community
and other youth-based groups within their jurisdiction. The second
part would involve these Vicariate-level celebrations to come
together at a single venue and join the Pope and the Youth in the
Evening Vigil. With the use of technology, the message of the Pope
will be aired at the central venue live. This event will be held
simultaneously at two key venues in our diocese. The First and
Second District will gather at the Rosario Square Glorietta,
Rosario Complex, San Pedro, Laguna, while the Third and Fourth
District will be using the Immaculate Conception Catholic College,
Sta. Cruz as their venue.
In line with this, we would like to request the use of the
Dominican College Gymnasium for the first part (Vicariate Level) of
the celebration.
In anticipation of your favorable response, we express our
heartfelt thanks and assure you of our prayers.
Very truly yours in Christ,
