The Apostolic Vicariate of Soddo joyfully organized a spiritual Youth Retreat that brought together young Catholics from across the Vicariate for a day of reflection, prayer, and renewal. The retreat was held at Soddo Cathedral of Holy Trinity, under the theme “Rooted in Christ, Growing in Faith,” inspired by Colossians 2:7.
In the presence of clergy, religious, and youth animators, the retreat offered a dynamic program including Mass, adoration, confession, group sharing, and inspiring talks on Christian identity, leadership, and the role of youth in the Church today.
In his address, His Excellency Abune Dejene Hidoto, Bishop of Soddo, encouraged the youth to remain steadfast in their faith and to be missionary disciples in their communities, echoing Pope Francis’ call to be the “now of God.”
The event was filled with joyful moments of song, dance, and fellowship, reaffirming the energy and hope that young people bring to the life of the Church.
We thank all participants, organizers, and parish communities who contributed to the success of this beautiful encounter. May the seeds planted during this retreat continue to grow and bear fruit in the lives of our youth.
