THE YOUTH GOES MONTHLY

As World Youth Day (WYD) 2005 draws near, the excitement and enthusiasm of the Filipino youth heightens. Their active participation in the Mass through their lively and lovely voices is a proof of that. Aside from the scheduled events on WYD, there are more activities in line for them in preparation for this "Mega Event". One of these activities is the Filipino youth choir's monthly singing engagements in the community mass at St. Winfried Church from February until July. August would be the most hectic month for them because of the WYD activities.

The youth choir usually sings every fifth Sunday of the month. To make this monthly activity possible, the Loved Flock choir and the Shalom choir have given up one Sunday alternately from their respective schedules. It has begun last February 20 and the succeeding dates are:
March 13
April 17
May 8
June 19
July 10

The practices for the youth choir will be held at the Shalom Center in Bürgerstrasse 21, Bonn-Bad Godesberg (behind Kinopolis) at 5:00 p.m. on:
March 12
April 16
May 7
June 18
July 9

This is surely an enriching activity for the youth for it will not only cultivate their God-given talents but also give them the chance in serving the Filipino community and playing their part in "building bridges", while at the same time, having better relations with their fellow youth.

Incidentally, the choir is still open for those who are interested to join. For further information on this or related queries please contact Jang(0170 4460734) or Nowy (0176 2312 9674). You may also approach the choir members directly.

Found the missing link!

Some of our kababayans back home would like to attend the World Youth Day and were asking for our assistance. But we couldn’t help them because we did not have any contact in the Philippines at all until now. We found the missing link!

The “International World Youth Day Conference” in Bensberg was one of the traditional elements in the preparations for World Youth Day. Around 250 representatives from national bishops’ conferences of 70 countries attended the Conference. It served to inform national and regional youth coordinators about the status of planning and the concepts for World Youth Day 2005 to be held in Cologne this August.

Two Filipina participants at the Conference were able to meet with the Tropa in Bonn on 10 January. Ma. Victoria “Toyang” Tacderas from the Episcopal Commission on Youth of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and Jessica Joy Candelario of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC) shared information and discussed possible cooperation with the Tropa for WYD 2005.

A number of organizations have already approached the Tropa about our fellow Filipino youth back home, who would like to attend WYD 2005. However, Tropa could not take action and assist them. Toyang was the “missing link” we were looking for in the Philippines. The office she works for screens interested delegates and provides the endorsement letter, which is required for the visa application of WYD 2005 participants at the German Embassy in Manila.

Meanwhile, Joy is our “missing link” to Asia. She is a youth coordinator for the Asian gathering during World Youth Day in August. For this afternoon-long event, WYD participants from Asian countries are preparing presentations to showcase the cultural diversity in Asia. It will be an opportunity for Asian youth to bond together. This Asian afternoon will be held in Düsseldorf and more information will be made available closer to the event.

Welcome to bahay kubo strasse!

At last our own web-site! To get in touch with each other, to exchange information and to basically just hang-around. If you are interested in the upcoming World Youth Day 2005 to be held in Cologne, Germany, then you're in the right place! Watch out for the coming useful information tailor-made for the Filipino youth both here in Germany and abroad.
