KENINGAU — Seven young people from the Diocese of Keningau will be participating in the World Youth Day (WYD) in Lisbon, Portugal August 1-8.
Prior to that, they attended a spiritual and physical formation led by Roney Eming, Head of the Youth Commission. This will help them have a good experience, especially in evangelisation and mission during the “Days in the Diocese” July 24-31.
Bishop Cornelius Piong celebrated the Mission Mass at the Keningau Diocese Retreat House, Tatal, on July 17. Before leaving for Lisbon, they will have a nine-day Novena. Some of the pilgrims shared their hopes:
Roney hopes that participating in WYD will give him new ideas that can be adapted in parish youth programmes as well as at the diocesan level.
Brenda Arambala, hopes that after returning from WYD, she will be more active in the youth ministry.
For Teresie Ketty, she has been longing to attend WYD and this year, she is very happy to be part of the Diocese of Keningau’s contingent to WYD Lisbon. She hopes this will guide her to become a faithful, creative, brave and steadfast servant of God.
