The Local Salesian youth ministry delegates with the Vice Province, Fr. Banzelao Teixeira, and Youth Ministry Delegate, Fr. Ralin De Souza.
The Youth Ministry Delegates had a meeting of all local YS, at Don Bosco Fatorda on January 16, 2026 to understand the youth ministry in the province and make a consolidated effort for the upcoming year. 2026-2027. Most of the communities of the province participated in the event where Vice Provincial INP, Father Banzelao Teixeira, began by presenting the Strenna from the perspective of the Youth Ministry delegate.
The primary objectives were to understand the process involved in Youth Ministry in the context of the province. The Delegate of Youth Ministry INP, Father Ralin De Souza, presented the working document of how Youth Ministry will be organised in the Province, so that the local delegate give an honest feedback. This was also in view of the fact that the Programs in the province were not shared with the Local Youth Ministry delegates.
The meeting sought to coordinate the Youth Ministry initiatives in the province, and create a collaborative platform for youth ministry. The ‘Working Document’ involved, principles, styles, patterns of initiatives, and how youth will be animated in the coming year.
The Local Youth Ministry delegates reflected together, the possibilities and concerns, and share how they could enhance the cohesive nature of our working together.
Two projects the Youth Ministry delegate have dared to take as a challenge is the Conduct of the SYM INP Youth Day 2025, and the animation of Leaders at various level in the province.
The meeting concluded with a details discussion on the various aspects of the INP Youth Day 2025, and how creatively we can organise it henceforth.
The meeting concluded by 4:00 PM with a health and enthusiastic commitment to get ourselves more involved with the Youth Animation at the Local Level.
