The Dominican Youth Movement in South Africa recently had their AGM in Schoenies, Port Elizabeth from the 26th-29th September 2024.
The theme of the AGM was ROOTED IN FAITH, GROWING IN SERVICE.
The young people and their Promoters came from KZN, East Londen, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth.
The aim of this gathering was to grow deeper in the spirit of St Dominic, form a deep community spirit with each other, pray together and study new content regarding service and leadership. They were also moulded as future leaders in the Church so that they can live transformative lives and make a great impact on society. Workshops included were on Personal Growth and Development, Youth Empowerment and faith, Spirituality and Leadership, Social Justice and Outreach. The keynote address focused on The Power of Faith in Action.
In between sessions there were great socials and much fun and laughter. We even had a braai. As September was Heritage month, the youth and some promoters were dressed in their traditional clothes.
A newly ordained Priest came to celebrate the Eucharist with us over 3 days. It was really a blessed time for all.
