Marian Youth Camp

PORT MORESBY: 27 October 2009: More than 250 youngsters, who call themselves “The 300 Youth for Mary”, gathered together, over the weekend, 24-25 October, for an overnight camp. The 300 for Mary were founded last year May 24, 2008 on the occasion of the Inauguration of the Mary Help of Christians Shrine, with a view to imitating the Virtues of Mary and propagating devotion to Her. 
    This time the youths stayed in DBTI (Don Bosco Technological Institute) campus as a way of concluding the Month of both,the Holy Rosary and the Missions on a good note, and having qualiy time for reflection and formation.  Three talks were given, all aiming at fostering a Culture of Peace.
    As violence is a matter of concern in this part of the Pacific, Ms Evelyn, one of the co-founders of the group, spoke on non-violence.
    Fr. Eduardo Revilla the second speaker, led the youth to look at Don Bosco as a Man of Peace.
    Bro Pedro Sachitula spoke on the necessity of discovering and living out one’s vocation if one wanted to be a peacemaker. “We are only men and women of peace when we are true to ourselves according to God’s plan, when we discover and live out our vocation”, he said. And invited the youth not delay  the answer to their call to be missionaries among their peers .
    Everything was coordinated by Sr. Christina Villasanta FMA who said on Local TV that the main objective of the 300 Youth for Mary was to spread the devotion to Mary. On the other hand, the Spiritual Moderator of the group and Rector of the Shrine - Fr. Val, profitting from the same channel stated that change in PNG would depend on its youth… and hence the need to invest and believe in them.
