The Archdiocese of Manila’s Commission on Youth and Campus Ministry office together with the Jesuit Communications Foundation (JesCom) are organizing a Christmas concert for the Filipino youth in celebration of the CBCP Year of the Youth.
“The Year of the Youth is the Catholic Church’s way of showing its undying love for and hope in the Filipino youth,” explained Fr. Nono Alfono, SJ, Director of JesCom.
“This concert will help inspire and uplift their spirits,” he added.
Themed “KABATAAN: Handog sa Simbahan at Bayan,” the concert will showcase the Filipino youth’s God-given talents in various fields of music, sports, politics and philanthropy.
The youth concert comes at the heels of the World Youth Day Madrid to Manila overnight vigil which was held at the Ateneo grounds last August 20-21. The vigil was attended by around 12 thousand youth from across the country.
By focusing on the youth, the Catholic Church aims to increase awareness of their plight and promote the youth’s active role in the church and society.
Among those who will perform onstage are the Ateneo Chamber Singers, Claret Hataw, Hail Mary the Queen Children’s Choir, Kilyawan Boys Choir, Las Pinas Boys Choir and the University of the East Chorale.
Other young celebrities and inspirational speakers will also grace the event.
The Christmas concert will be held on December 10, from 7-10 p.m. at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Cubao. It will be aired on Studio 23 a week later.
