More than 530 youths from the eight dioceses of Bangladesh participated in the National Youth Day pilgrimage with the theme “Mary arose and went with Haste” (Luke 1:39).
The activity, initiated by the diocesan commission for the clergy and the religious, aims at promoting ongoing formation programs for priests and religious brothers and nuns, and to foster vocations.
"We offer our children for the work of God in His vineyard,” said Bishop Gervas Rozario of Rajshahi in his homily during the feast day of the Presentation of the Lord celebration.
The activity carried the theme "Image of Christ in the Writer's Heart" and focused on youth involvement in the Church’s communication ministry, both in the traditional print platform and online.
