Catholic youths from Aruligo in Northwest Guadalcanal and nearby communities gathered over the weekend at the St. Mother Teresa Family and Youth Retreat Centre for a spiritual retreat ahead of Pentecost Sunday.
A statement from the program said the gathering brought young people together for formation talks, Eucharistic adoration, Holy Mass, fellowship, and social activities that aim to strengthen their faith and unity within the Church.
Fr. Mark Misiwasi speaking during the program, highlighted the importance of Pentecost as the birth of the Church when the disciples and Mother Mary received the Holy Spirit.
Reflecting on the Second Reading from 1 Corinthians 12, Fr. Mark reminded participants that, there are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit and encouraged youths to use their talents to serve the Church and their communities.
He also stressed the important role young people play in the mission of the Catholic Church today.
The retreat ended with Holy Mass and a renewed call for youths to continue living with the spirit of Pentecost through prayer, unity, and service.
