(ANS – Doom Dooma) – More than 800 young people from villages under St. Joseph Catholic Parish participated in a one-day Youth Animation and Motivational Development programme aimed at deepening faith, fostering leadership, and inspiring active Christian witness. Held at St. Joseph Catholic Church, the initiative was organized by the Don Bosco Youth Empowerment Services (DBYES) under the guidance of Fr. Theotimus Lakra, with Br. Paul Leriina and Br. Dhiraj Bhengra leading interactive sessions. Through spiritual reflections, motivational inputs, music, and group activities, the programme encouraged participants to discover their God-given purpose and become agents of hope in their families and communities. Interactive sessions titled “Be the Light” and “Know Your Purpose” were among the highlights of the day. Traditional Adivasi cultural honours and vibrant performances added a festive touch, celebrating local heritage while reinforcing Christian values.
