Tonight, the young people of DBYC Lourdes were happy to welcome Rev. Fr. William Matthews, SDB, EAO Regional Councilor, during his visit to our Youth Center.
Fr. William arrived together with our Youth Director, Rev. Fr. Keith J. Amodia, SDB, and was warmly welcomed by the young people of DBYC Lourdes. The program started with a short welcome message from our new Youth Coordinator, Kuya Jethro, who expressed our joy and gratitude for Fr. William’s visit.
The Santa Cecilia Youth Choir (SCYC) then gave a special performance of “Rosas Pandan,” bringing music and joy to everyone gathered that evening.
After the performance, our Animator, Kuya Sean, introduced the new PYCC Core Group and Animators, who will continue to help and guide our young people in the Youth Center.
Fr. William then spent time with the young people through a simple and meaningful talk. He shared his journey as a priest, some stories about the life of St. John Bosco, and the Dream at the Age of Nine, which became an important part of Don Bosco’s life and mission.
After his talk, the young people had the chance to ask questions and talk with Fr. William. It was a good opportunity for everyone to listen, learn, and share their thoughts with him.
Before the evening ended, we had a group photo with Fr. William, followed by pictures with the different groups of young people in DBYC Lourdes.
Tonight was more than just a visit. It was a chance for us to meet, listen, learn, and spend time together as one youth community.
Thank you, Fr. William, for spending time with us and for sharing your stories and experiences. Your visit reminded us that we are not alone in our journey as young people, and that there are people who continue to walk with us, guide us, and believe in us.
May we continue to grow together, serve one another, and live out the spirit of Don Bosco in our everyday lives.
“Do whatever He tells you.” — John 2:5
