Before we got into the main talk, Kuya Eliakim, SMV Youth Coordinator, got everyone up and moving through a Get-to-Know-You (GTKY) activity. It was a simple but fun way for the participants from different parishes to meet one another, loosen up, and get comfortable with the people they’ll be spending the day with.

After the GTKY, we welcomed Mrs. Lucy Silva for a session on Catechism and the Youth. She talked about the importance of knowing and understanding our Catholic faith, especially as young people who are growing up in a world where we encounter different ideas and influences every day.

The session gave us a chance to look at catechism not simply as something we memorize, but as something that helps us know our faith, understand what we believe, and live it out in our daily lives.

Daghan tag nadungog, daghan pud tag ma-reflect. And hopefully, what we learned from the session will not end when VYD ends, but will continue as we go back to our respective parishes and communities.

The St. Michael’s Vicariate Youth Day 2026 began with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at Immaculate Conception Parish, Luinab, Iligan City, our gracious host parish for this year’s gathering.

The Mass was presided over by our Diocesan Youth Director, Rev. Fr. John Resty Oroyan, together with the Parish Priest of Immaculate Conception Parish, Rev. Fr. Albert Tecson Mendez.

In his homily, Fr. John reminded the young people that God continues to call each of us to something greater. As youth, we are encouraged not to be afraid of that call, but to listen, respond, and allow God to lead us where He wants us to be.

He reminded us of what it truly means to follow Christ: to serve, not to be served. Our gifts, time, and energy are not only for ourselves, but are meant to be shared with others and offered in service to the Church and our community.

A fitting lesson as we live out this year's theme:

“Reignite: Rooted in Faith, Together in Mission.”

May we continue to listen to God's call, find our place in His mission, and serve with willing hearts.

Mga Ka-SMV, UGMA NA!
Here are a few reminders to help everyone stay safe and comfortable throughout the day.

+Be ready for the heat. Please bring a cap/hat, umbrella, fan, or anything that can help protect you from the sun, especially during the foot parade.

+Bring your own water bottle. Stay hydrated throughout the day. Ayaw hulata nga uhaw na kaayo before drinking water.

+Wear comfortable and appropriate clothes. Since we will be walking and spending time outdoors, choose something light and comfortable that is still suitable for our church activities.

+Bring sunscreen if you have one. Apply before leaving and reapply when needed.

+Don't forget your own meals and snacks. Participants are reminded to bring/provide their own food for the activity.

+Wear comfortable footwear. We will be having a foot parade from Immaculate Conception Parish to 2A Gymnasium, so please wear shoes or sandals that you can comfortably walk in.

+During the foot parade, stay with your parish/group. Please follow the instructions of your youth leaders and marshals and avoid wandering away from your group.

+Bring your personal necessities. If you have medicines or other things you personally need during the day, make sure to bring them with you.

+Keep your phone charged and make sure your parish youth leader/coordinator can easily contact you.

+Most importantly, come prepared—not only physically, but also spiritually. Let us come with open hearts, ready to pray, learn, meet new friends, and celebrate our faith together.

And if the heat gets too much, ayaw pugsa inyong kaugalingon. Inform your youth leader or one of the organizers immediately and find a cool place to rest.

See you tomorrow, mga Ka-Vicariates!
Let's take care of one another and make this VYD a safe, joyful, and meaningful gathering for everyone.

Mrs. Lucy Silva!

Mga ka-SMV, we are excited to introduce our speaker who will be joining us for the St. Michael’s Vicariate Youth Day 2026!

This year's gathering will include a catechesis on faith and the youth—a chance to pause, listen, ask questions, and look at how we can live our faith in our everyday lives as young people.

And of course, we’re excited to hear from someone who will share not just knowledge, but also experiences and insights that we can bring with us as we continue our journey in the Church.

So, who’s ready to listen, learn, and maybe see our faith from a different perspective? 👀

See you on August 22, 2026, mga Ka-Vicariates!
