IJ Youth Mission Update

The IJ Youth Mission - All CHIJ Secondary Schools Combined Youth Mission Camp was held from 4 to 5 June in CHIJ Katong.

90 pupils from the 5 CHIJ Schools, CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh), Katong Convent, CHIJ St Nicholas Girls School,  CHIJ St Joseph’s Convent and CHIJ St Theresa’s Convent  attended a 2 day Leadership Combined Youth Mission Camp at CHIJ Katong.  They learned how to reflect on their experiences and respond positively to the plight of the poor in their midst and in society. They learned how to use the Pastoral Cycle as a tool for involvement in mission and they networked and bonded as part of the IJ Family of Youth Leaders.

If you are interested in using the Pastoral Cycle (Review of Life) for your Reflection, more information can be found at the  website of the Archdiocese of Southwark.   This excerpt is provided by courtesy of the Shrewsbury Diocesan J & P Commission Resources.
