Akure, March, 2025
From March 6th to 9th, sixty young leaders from across the province gathered at the Don Bosco Marian Youth Spirituality Centre for the 3rd Provincial Youth Animators Vocation Retreat. This transformative event, themed ‘Young People, Prayer, and Commitment to Service,’ aimed to equip matured youth leaders with the spiritual tools necessary to support their local communities and dioceses.
The retreat coincided with the significant liturgical moments of Lent, providing an opportune time for reflection and spiritual growth. Under the guidance of retreat preacher Fr. Chima Alpheus Agbo, participants engaged in a range of activities, including talks, group sharing, and meditation.
The four-day retreat also featured daily Mass, the Rosary, and a Penitential service, allowing attendees to deepen their faith and commitment to service. As these young leaders return to their communities, they are poised to make a positive impact, inspiring others through their spiritual growth and dedication.
