As many young people were gathered in Krakow, Poland, with
the Holy Father Pope Francis, celebrating the 13th World Youth Day,
the Youth of the Antipolo Diocese,
in Abbreviation KaDA (Kabataan ng Diyosesis ng Antipolo) have held a local celebration
of the #WYD2016 here in Marikina. The venue, the Marist School of Marikina. It
was a lovely and colorful night vigil, from Saturday 30 at 6pm to Sunday 31 at
8am. It is more or less 2000 youth from the different vicariates of the
Diocese: Vicariate of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage, Vicariate of Saint
Jerome, Vicariate of San Ildefonso, Vicariate of the Saint John the Baptist, Vicariate
of Our Lady of the Light, Vicariate of Saint Francis Xavier, Vicariate of Our
Lady of Aranzazu, Vicariate of Immaculate Conception, Vicariate of Our Lady of
the Abandoned, who have happily invaded the Marist School. All in red, tagged
some with the logo of the #WYD 2016, some with the theme, “Blessed are the
merciful, for they will receive mercy.” (Matthew 5:7)
Among the Attendants were some seminarians of the Saint
Luigi Orione Seminary, our religious brothers here in Montalban, the Novices
and the Orionine Youth Movement, Kabataan ni Don Orione.
Many activities have embellished this night vigil among
which, a catechism given by Rev. Msgr. Rigoberto S. De Guzman, animations,
testimonies from attendants of previous WYD, Divine Mercy Rosary, Sacrament of
Reconciliation and Holy Mass.
It has been a night full of joy, as expressed by many attendants. We now look forwards for the next World Youth Day in Panama in 2019.
