Korea to host next Asian Youth Day

SILANG, Cavite, Nov.28, 2009—It is confirmed Korea will host next Asian Youth Day set for 2012.

Filipino Bishop Rolando Tirona of the Prelature of Infanta made the announcement at the culmination of the 5th Asian Youth which ended yesterday at the diocese of Imus in the Philippines.

Tirona is the chairman of the Office on Family and Life which handles the Youth Desk of the Federation of the Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC).

“I am pleased to announce that the next Asian Youth Day will take place in Korea,” he said.

The Korean section of the congregation broke out in loud cheers at the announcement.

Tirona concelebrated a mass at the Rogationist College in Silang, Cavite, the final event of this year’s Asian Youth Day.

The liturgical celebration was presided over by FABC secretary general and Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Quevedo.

Concelebrants include Papal nuncio to the Philippines Archbishop Edward Joseph Adams and several other bishops from across Asia, mostly Filipinos.

“I thank you all for your participation here in Cavite and look forward to seeing you all again in three years’ time,” Tirona said.

Reportedly, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Korea lobbied hard for their country to host Asian Youth Day in 2013.

Speaking to CBCPNews, Fr. Cho Jae Hyen Pio, youth ministry leader for Korea’s Catholic Church, said he hopes the gathering will have a broad impact.

“I hope it will strengthen the faith, I hope it will reinforce all those values that make Korean society good like solidarity and respect for life,” he said.

Young Korean Catholics attending the celebrations in Cavite were jubilant after the bishop’s announcement.

“I expect Korea to show Asia just how wonderful we are,” one young woman said.

“Korea’s going to be great – we’re all feeling very good,” a young man said.

Asian Youth Day is held during the years when no international World Youth Day celebration is organized, which is once in every three years.

It was first held in Thailand in 1999, Taiwan in 2001, in India in 2003 and in Hong Kong in 2006. (Roy Lagarde)

Asian youth renew commitment to church PDF Print E-mail

MANILA, Nov. 29, 2009—Asian Catholic youth leaders departed Manila on Saturday as they pledged themselves to help spread the Catholic faith after a 4-day gathering in Cavite province.

Over 1,500 young faithful gathered at the Rogationist College in Silang town Nov. 23 to 27 for the 5th Asian Youth Day (AYD) hosted by the Diocese of Imus.

Despite the “difficulties that beset” them, the youth acknowledged they have much to contribute to the church.

“We will deepen our love for the Word of God and the Eucharist to keep the fire of Christ in us burning,” they said.

The commitment was contained in a statement read out at the closing Mass presided by Cotabato Archbishop Orlando Quevedo, secretary general of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences.

Freedom of faith

The statement cited various challenges facing the youth and their Catholic faith and how they could help overcome them.

“Many among us find it difficult to identify ourselves with Christian beliefs and practices even if we were baptized Christian at an early age,” it read.

“Worse, some of us live in circumstances with little or no freedom in religious expression,” the statement added.

Christianity is a monitory faith in Asia and oppression among the believers has long been hampering the believers to practice their faith.

Many Christians in some Asian countries are forced to renounce their faith or threatened with violence.

‘Loss of self identity’

The AYD delegates said poverty and the lack of equal opportunities are also some of the facets that affect the church and the people.

“We are also burdened by the extremely uneven distribution of wealth in our countries, which results in the inequity in economic and educational opportunities,” they said.

“We too are being negatively influenced by the mass media and new media which in many ways lead us to the loss of self-identity with their emphasis on consumerism and secularism,” they added.

The challenges, the participants said, emphasized the need for them to be more involved in their parishes and their church.

“We are YAsians! Being nourished by the Word and the Eucharist, we dare to face and overcome these challenges,” according to the statement.

“We commit ourselves to renew, strengthen and practice our Christian faith in word and deed, prayer and service, even if others may judge and think of us differently.”

“With our Church, starting from our families, parishes and local Christian communities, we shall build bridges of peace, understanding and love. We confess our limitations and we beg our elders for support. We appeal to our Church to enable us to live our faith,” it also said. (R. Lagarde)
