The portals of Laura Vicuna Niwas, Ahmednagar were resounding with the lively vibrations of around 350 youngsters from the Maharashtra region to participate in the annual Auxilium Youth Fest ‘17 (AYM).
This event was packed with myriads of activities. It began with a visit to the Tank Museum which is the only one in Asia.
The dignitaries were solemnly escorted to the venue and the Youth Fest was declared open by Fr. Vishwas Pereira SDB. It was a grand sight to behold the banners of our Auxilium presences in the region. The entire programme revolved around the theme Family: Where Life begins and Love never ends. The youth relished the sessions, presentations of skits, AYM theme song and most of all the Taize prayer which included reconciliation as well.
The next day they began with aerobics which rejuvenated their spirits. The day’s schedule included sessions, games, action songs, claps, and the like. The Eucharist was the apex of the day which gave a spiritual slant to the fun-filled event. Each and every participant resolved to love, respect and spend quality time with their family, building relationships. They contentedly walked home with a gift – a pouch with the theme printed on it.
A million thanks to Sr. Meena D’Silva, Sr. Theresa Plathara, the Sisters of Ahmednagar community and the animators, volunteers and the support staff for their wholehearted collaboration.
