We are very happy to host this big step for our young faithful.
At present, the world is confronted with various challenges. The recent COVID-19 pandemic is only one of the worst effects of human greed and neglect of their duty as guardians and stewards of the Lord’s creations. The worst is that the most vulnerable carry the heaviest burden. And it seems the destruction is not ending. The combat is becoming more urgent than it was.
To contribute to the global efforts to bring humanity back to its senses and be substantially involved in cooling down the Earth on all fronts and fields, the Filipino Katoliko Church led by its Youth Ministry, particularly in the Agusan-Surigao del Sur Diocese will be gathering around 40 youth leaders and members from different parishes and chapels for a Diocesan Youth Fellowship: A Journey to Our Faith and Environment. This will be from the 28th to the 30th of July 2023 in Sibagat, Agusan del Sur.
Apart from spiritual and religious activities during the Youth Fellowship is an EducaTour: Experiencing Agriculture and Environment. This aims to motivate and inspire young people to be catalysts in appreciating and protecting the environment, natural and ecological food production, and food growers.
As a religious denomination and a social organization, it is our moral and spiritual obligation to perform our very duty as stewards of the creations. The EducaTour to Flora Tilapia Hatchery this 29th of July 2023 is to bring the discussion among the youth amplifying the call for environmental restoration and agroecological socio-economic systems.
At Flora Tilapia Hatchery, administered by a young farmer there will be a sharing of personal journeys of transformation, appreciation, reflections, inspiration, and recommendations from invited young farmers speakers, and agroecology practitioners. It is also a one-day farm-life experience for the participants.
Our congregation is young and small and logistically and financially challenged, but we are committed to molding our young people to be ecologically aware and active.
God Bless Us All.
