One Year na akong Passionist Youth!!!!
March 31, 2007I am now one year as a member of the Passionist Youth, a religious youth organization in our local parish in connection with our passionist fathers, and their contemplative love and to preach christ crucified. I remember the time and the date I joined the group and became a very active youth : It was 4:00PM mass, first sunday of April 2006.
Now How It All Started?
It all started April 2005 - Holy Week - when the time where something comes out of my mind around Good Friday: "What if I try to watch the live Stations of the Cross?" So I come out of the house to see it. That time I never had any friends, except ONLY my classmates. I was strucked at the play. When it ended I saw the cast and crew, with their friendship and awesome bonding. I wish I had friends like them, and now I had them as friends. First, I became a member of the Legion of Mary - Junior Praesidium. A few weeks later I was recruited as an Altar Server. I have undergone training under Rev. Rogie (which is now the assistant parish priest @ Bagong Silang) for a few weeks. By January 2006, my service in the altar became regular. And by April, I have decided to join a youth organization, fullfilling my wish to gain more and more friends and to be much more active in the church. And so I decided to join the Passionist Youth since I like those Passionist fathers etc.
I Enjoy it to the Fullest!!
Now I have countless friends (about 150+ ??)scattered almost all over the country, from sacristans to seminarians to theologians to Parish Priests to Lay leaders and simple yet good friends. From my closest friends in Cul-de-sac to our former priests now based in Mindanao. I had attended several gatherings, seminars, occasions, and also parties. I have reached also a couple of parishes like in Marikina.
Now I am also the president of the Ministry of Altar Servers and also one of the most active youth in the Parish.
