The Diocesan Youth Council of Yendi brought renewed dynamism to this year’s Christ the King celebration, drawing more than 1,800 young people from parishes across the diocese for a vibrant three-day event held from 21–23 November 2025.
Parishes organised the celebration locally, each attracting large numbers of young participants for liturgical activities, formation sessions and community-building engagements. A major highlight was the initiation of 173 young people into the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), marking a significant boost to youth involvement in the Church’s mission.
The programme was intentionally designed to revitalise spiritual commitment among the youth, following a period of slowed participation in diocesan activities. By bringing the celebration closer to local communities, the Diocese sought to reawaken enthusiasm, deepen faith and strengthen dedication to service.
To demonstrate strong pastoral support, the Diocesan Youth Council Executive Members visited all participating parishes, encouraging the young faithful and reinforcing unity across the diocese.
The celebration not only re-energised the youth but also reaffirmed the Diocese of Yendi’s commitment to nurturing their spiritual growth and active participation in Church life.
