| Fatima holds, on December 1, the IX National Youth Festival of Message Song, an initiative promoted and organized by the National Department of Youth Ministry (DNPJ), which will take place at the Auditorium of Paul VI Pastoral Center. The Festival’s theme is: “Rejoice always in the Lord!” (Phil 4, 4) & “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Mt 28, 19). According to information received from the organizers, there are represented in the Festival 13 Portuguese dioceses, which will be present with a video clip and an original piece of music. The Festival’s purpose is to “animate the pastoral ministry of youths, to incentivate poetic-musical creations from the values of citizenship and human and Christian values and t promote message song as a form of music-language and an evangelizing tool.” It aims also “at making possible communication and fraternization between youths of each diocese, youth groups and ecclesial movements in Portugal, within the scope of the National Council for Youth Ministry”, Fr. Eduardo Novo concludes. |
