AROUND 3,000 young Catholics from different parishes in Cebu attended the 31st Local World Youth Day (LWYD) and Vocation Jamboree, which opened earlier this week.

Although they are different events, the LWYD and jamboree were merged by the Archdiocese of Cebu this year.

The Family of United and Empowered Leaders (Fuel) or District 8 of the Archdiocese’s Commission on Youth, in coordination with the Directors of Vocation Cebu Chapter, is hosting the four-day event with the theme “Go Forth…Build Communities.”

In his letter to the delegates, Archbishop Jose Palma urged young Catholics to join the event’s activities.

“I encourage you to participate in this joyful occasion and discover through it the beauty of our Christian calling and of community-building as well as the beauty of the Archdiocese,” he said.

Tonight, the archbishop will be at the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) campus in Barangay Basak, Cebu City to talk to the youth.

He said that the activity, dubbed as “Dialogue with Archbishop Palma,” will serve as a chance for the youth to ask him about the issues and concerns hounding them.

The dialogue is one of the highlights of this year’s LWYD and jamboree.
