On 16th November, the Bombay Region joyfully hosted a vibrant Youth Fiesta, welcoming more than 80 enthusiastic young people from our communities in Andheri, Mahim, Vasai, and Shireliwadi. Their presence, joy, and fellowship filled the day with a truly memorable spirit of communion.
The programme began with breakfast, registration, and a lively Tug of War, setting a cheerful and energetic tone for the day. This was followed by an inspiring session by Sr. Audrey, who reflected on the theme “Unstoppable Hope, Undying Love, and Unquenchable Spirit.” Her sharing invited the youth to rediscover their purpose, make life-giving decisions, and hold firmly to hope even in challenging moments. The morning offered rich opportunities for reflection and gently opened the hearts of the young people to God’s guidance.
We then gathered around the table of the Lord for the Holy Eucharist, our source of strength, renewal, and unity. After the celebration of the Mass, lunch and a warm interaction with the sisters fostered a deep sense of belonging and family spirit.
The afternoon continued with action songs, games, and moments of reflective sharing. Later, Dn. Sanal Tuscano led two practical and interactive sessions that helped the youth explore their role in the Church and in society with fresh insight. His inputs were both motivating and enriching, offering clarity, direction, and encouragement for their journey ahead.
The youth also presented the “Output of the Day,” sharing their learnings with sincerity, followed by an evaluation in which they expressed gratitude and offered valuable suggestions. Laughter, meaningful conversations, joyful participation, and genuine bonding marked every moment of the day.
The dedicated efforts of the sisters and the Jesus Youth team added warmth, care, and thoughtful coordination to the entire programme. We remain deeply grateful to the Provincial Team, the Nirmalashram community, and all the sisters for their prayers, support, and loving presence.
The celebration concluded with hearts renewed, spirits uplifted, and our young people inspired to carry their faith with joy, courage, and purpose.
