Luanda, 12 July, 2023 / 8:06 pm (ACI Africa).
The Catholic Youth from Angola, who are to take part in the planned World Youth Day (WYD) 2023 are enthusiastic about sharing their faith and representing their country, the Director of the National Office for the Youth Pastoral Ministry at the Episcopal Conference of Angola and São Tomé has said.
“Our youth are eager to share their faith and to represent their country with pride during the World Youth Day in Portugal,” Fr. Armando Pinho Alberto told ACI Africa during the Monday, July 10 interview about the August 1-6 event in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Angolan Catholic youth, Fr. Pinho said, have been prepared to “bring good disposition, their dynamism” at the global event, and in interacting with other youth, they are to “take the cultural heritage that we enjoy in our land to share with others.”
“We will keep the presence of our culture alive there and we will also certainly recover what they will want to give us as a culture, proper to the country, to bring to our land,” the National Youth Chaplain in Angola further said.
