….like the
saying goes, "make hay while the sun shines".
“…….I thank you all for your contributions. It is really not about
who takes the credit, every one of you (everybody) is an asset and has
something to offer to the world. Let us all have our minds set on the bigger
picture. We are building a system and it has to be with you and young minds alike
that will keep the vision alive when I am not here. A time will come when i
will only provide support by proxy. There will always be youths in the church
at all ages, I believe that in carrying everyone along, we will be able to
leave a good legacy behind and much more discover younger minds who will carry
on when some of you get married, relocate or become too engaged with other
tasks….”

Youth Catechism
Greetings to
you all and peace be with you.
We
are grateful to God for his sustenance since YOUCAT (Youth Catechism) began in
Ogba. YOUCAT became a reality through the commitment and corporation of a few
youths who believed in this dream and brought it to life, may God who started
his good work in us all sustain it to greater heights. Amen.
YOUCAT has become a brand and of course will spread far and wide by God’s grace.
In
2013, it began in Badagry and the message is still spreading.
In
Ogba, it was introduced in April 2014 with just a few youths in attendance
while the maiden edition took place in October 15, 2014.
The
vision is to have more youths and young adults incorporated into the system and
this desire keeps burning in our heart.
Our
sincere appreciation goes to all the members of the CYON fellowship committee
and the newly incorporated youths for the success achieved so far and the
innovative ideas they have brought on board. Of course we all know that greater
achievements lies ahead because more is yet to come. Other parishes are calling
us to come and establish the same for them in their parish and this is indeed a
big testimony for us.
(i) To create a deepened atmosphere of Spiritual & Exciting Social Interaction amongst Youths/Singles from within & outside our Community.(Parish)
(ii) To get the youths to be actively involved hence sustaining a more formidable Catholic Youth Organization of Nigeria(CYON)) in our Parish and every community.
(iii) To make the youths more acquainted with the Great teachings of the Catholic Church, under the capable direction of our source book... YOUCAT, which translates the church teachings into the Language of the younger minds.
(iv) To foster a more deepened faith amongst Youth/Singles of the present generation to enable them -approach the challenges & temptations of our time with strength and determination.
(V) To enrich the youths with diverse information and also gainfully empower them through the introduction of business opportunities, promotional job fairs and creation of workshops.
Our
desire is to get the entire youths of this church integrated and committed to
this course. This unity is our strength.
