YCS

About our Association
In 1931, Cardinal Joseph Cardijn from Belgium initiated this movement with the aim of guiding the youth who had passed SSLC, to walk alongside their younger peers, to reflect and deliberate on society, to ignite a revolution of change in life, and to build a better future.
In our parish, this unit was started on October 6, 1997, under the leadership of Fr. Leo Vegas and under the presidency of Ms.Sunita D'Silva. With the motto 'See, Judge, and Act' the objective of this movement is to shape a new society. In our parish, the YCS meets every Sunday for 60 minutes after the mass. After the arrival of our former parish priest Fr. Anthony Lobo, the YCS group became more vibrant and active. The youth receive good teachings and guidance from their animators. Taking inspiration from the content of the 'Handbook for Leaders, ' the youth are imparted the knowledge of leadership.
Besides leadership, the youth also organizes several activities throughout the year. They conduct Bible quizzes, organize games for the children, visit the elderly, participate in the 'Laudato Si' program, and take up the role of environmental caretakers by cleaning the surroundings.The youth also participates in the liturgy and choir.They actively takes part in the YCS sports and programs at the diocese level and earn awards.The youth are key participants in every event of the parish. In the Vanamahotsava program, the YCS youth joins hands with the PYC unit to plant trees.They also visit Sneha Sadan and spent time playing with the children, giving donations, and prizes, and spend valuable time with them. We are proud to say that our youth have shown remarkable leadership and generosity.
