Through Dance, Songs and Prayer, the young people bore witness to their Faith and their Commitment to follow Christ.

That Weekend was a True Experience of Fraternity, despite some Organizational Challenges. The presence and enthusiasm of the young people testified to a Living and Committed Faith.

We warmly thank the CDPJ for organizing that Major Event and recalling that Inspiring Phrase from Fr. Deshayes: “Everything has been done, but everything remains to be done.”

May that Missionary Dynamic continue to grow and bear fruit for Mennaisian Youth!
