Torit Catholic Youth Conclude Workshop On Change
St. Peter and St. Paul parish and Our Lady of Assumption Parish youth representatives in the Catholic Diocese of Torit on Thursday concluded a daylong workshop aiming at changing the lives of young people through application of skills and knowledge via trainings. 18 May 2013 By Peter Lokale Nakimangole TORIT, 17 May 2013 [Gurtong] – The youth coordinator in the Catholic Diocese of Torit, Fr. Jospeh Otto explained before the gathering attended by more than 40 youth representatives that the process employed was to identify programmes that youth people can carry in the church so to tape talents youth have in them. He believes that youth have rich talents to be utilised but they are not organized well. The coordinator has noted that there are lots of activities to be implemented but priority needs must be taken into consideration to translate them into production. He emphasizes that Church needs youth most to be productive so that they can change the society by developing their potentials in dynamic pastoral programmes. According to Fr. Otto, the youth should be organized in pastoral work so that they bring their colleagues who are outside the Church. He highlights that the Church need to tell the youth who have lost hopes of life that life is meaningful and they should discover their potentials by thinking to carry productive roles in the society to be appreciated. Fr. Otto disputes the idea that the youth are idle and cannot do anything productive to the society, saying such believes have caused lack of trust in giving employment opportunities to young people. He notes that the Church seeks to organize the youth into productive groups to regain and build public trust so that they can be offered employment according to their capabilities. Fr. Otto groups youth in the diocese into three categories with diverse experiences that should be taped for development of the region.
