Youth leaders from the Archdiocese of Cebu are organizing a praise and worship concert to animate young people to deepen their relationship with God in imitation of Pedro Calungsod.
The concert, themed “Break the Silence: Dreaming and Healing for the Nation through the intercession of Blessed Pedro Calungsod,” is being spearheaded by the Family of United and Empowered Leaders (FUEL), members of the Commission on Youth of Cebu’s 8th district.
Organizers said the concert is meant to galvanize the youth to build an intimate relationship with God by way of helping His people in times of need through the intercession of Pedro Calungsod.
“This also serves as a fundraising activity of FUEL’s outreach program to the poor dwellers of Barrio Maton-og, situated on the remote peaks of Minglanilla, Cebu,” they said.
In line with the preparation for Bl. Pedro Calungsod’s canonization, the concert also aims to catechize the youth on how Pedro, a Visayan lad, became a saint at a young age, the group furthered.
Bro. Obet Cabrillas from the Light of Jesus Community will share his reflection on the theme while Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma will give his inspirational message to all participants during the event.
Around 3,000 participants are expected to attend the concert slated on July 28 at the Blessed XXIII Seminary Football in Mabolo, Cebu City.
Various organizations, covenanted communities, movements and associations all over Cebu are participating in the event. (Jandel Posion)
