Summer Youth PREX at CTK
The CTK Youth Ministry held its Youth Parish Renewal Experience, from the evening of May 25 until the evening of May 27. As in previous years, venue was the entire ground floor of the Formation Center. This was open to all single youth ages 17-30. This organization aims to bring other people, specifically the youth, to renew their relationship with the Lord and to build a stronger foundation with Him. It is done by holding a 3-day retreat that makes them disconnect from their distractions, for them to be able to connect with their feelings, emotions and of course with the Lord.
On its last day, May 27st, PREx Youth once again produced 3 graduates, who are ofCicially the PREx Youth Batch 24.
The group was led by the team leaders namely Francis Vidanes and Ana Kathrina Cruz together with their assistant team leaders Rez Sicat, Matt Obias and Mel Monzon with Ernest Quizon who served as their adviser throughout the preparation for the weekend. As a team, they came up with the theme ‘What’s Next’ as connected with their mission to help the youth renew their relationship with the Lord.
The team leaders invited speakers for the different talks which discussed various topics about the Catholic faith. They also prepared a variety of activities to compliment the talks and to get to know each other better as well as to help them bond not just as an organization but as a family too. After all the talks and activities, they all gathered to celebrate their accomplishment in a mass where they were presented to the community and blessed by the priest. As the new batch has graduated, the PREx Youth has again grown as a community who are sure to stay committed in their goal to bring the youth closer to God and to renew and understand their faith much better.
