With great joy I met today at the see of our Holy Diocese, at the Holy Cathedral of Saint Nicholas in Majunga, with the young people of the area, many of whom are candidates for the priesthood and are preparing to dedicate themselves to the service of our Holy Church.
We discussed issues that concern them, as well as the ways in which they can contribute actively to the missionary work of our Diocese. At the same time, we decided to found a Youth Group, with the aim of strengthening young people’s participation in the life of the Church, cultivating new priestly and missionary vocations and staffing the church work of our Holy Diocese.
The presence and enthusiasm of the young people fill us with hope and optimism for the future of our local Church. I pray that the all-good God, through the intercessions of Saint Nicholas, may grant them health, enlightenment and strength, so that they remain faithful to their calling and their ministry, to the glory of God and the benefit of people.
