Each year during this same month, we celebrate National Youth Day, organized by the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil. This year, the theme of the gathering was: <strong>\u201cGo, young person, and rebuild my Church!\u201d<\/strong>\u2014inspired by the biblical passage: <strong>\u201cZeal for your house will consume me\u201d<\/strong> <strong>(Jn 2:17).<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>&#8220;In keeping with our preferential option for young people, we want to care for them<\/em>&#8221; (NdN)<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the 10th, our community took part in this celebration along with the parish\u2019s Confirmation candidates and other young people from the Archdiocese. It was a time for reflection, singing, dancing, spirituality, dialogue, and plenty of fellowship among everyone. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this occasion, the Religious Life community of Campinas was also present, sharing our charisms and offering young people the opportunity to explore and reflect on their vocation. To this end, we shared materials and created spaces for dialogue about our congregations, helping them learn about different vocations and discover God\u2019s call in their lives. <\/p>\n\n<p
