Youth Leaders meet to discuss vocations: a vocations slant also on Sydney WYD

PARAÑAQUE: 25th November 2008 -- The Salesian Youth Animators and Leaders Assembly (SYALA) for Philippines North Province gathered at Seminaryo ng Don Bosco on Saturday 22nd November for a full day of vocations presentations and discussions. The event was managed by the Provincial Vocations Delegate, Fr Gerry Martin and the Filipino students at the theologate spearheaded the various committees for the event. The theme, broadly translating the Filipino version, was Youth Group Today....Tomorrow Vocations.
    There were more than 200 participants, most but not all from Salesian settings. Some came from other settings where the students of theology help with weekend apostolates. The participants included both young men and young women.
    The event began with Mass. Talks and presentations were held in the auditorium. Fr Joriz Calsa, former delegate for the SYM in the Southern Philipinnes Province shared his experience of the World Youth Day in Sydney and the challenges of Pope Benedict XVI to young people today. Fr Marty Macasaet spoke of the challenges of vocation ministry coming out of GC26. These presentations were were capped by a lively Interview Panel involving Sr Rita, a youth leader in Children's Ministry at the Salesian San Ildefonso Parish in Makati who subsequently joined the Canossians, Fr Ding Cortez, now spiritual moderator of DB Academy in Pampanga but a former young Knights of the Altar member, and a married lay preacher, Rolan Bagting who is proud to have Salesians as his spiritual directors.
    The afternoon sessions were for sharing, with facilitation from 21 aspirants from DB Canlubang, 4 students of theology, 1 practical trainee and 2 lay women. Each group eventually produced a commitment statement worded as a prayer, three of which were shared with the whole assembly. The event concluded with a Good Night from Fr Gerry Martin.
