A number of students and migrants from the North East states of India are residing in and around Mangalore. The vision of reaching out to such youths and giving them Christ has led to this gathering of North East youth at Mangalore, which was the first ever gathering of such kind. It was held on the 8th of Nov 2009, at the St. Aloysius College Primary Hall
There were a total participation of 61 youth from 6 different states of the North East of India. Salma,a Manipal Jeus Youth, was the MC for the day. The music ministry was rocking. The Vicar General of Mangalore Diocese, Rev. Dennis Prabhu addressed the participants and shared his experiences with them at the beginning of the day. Fr. Nelson (Animator of the Charismatic Renewal in Mangalore) and Fr. Jais (Animator of the KJYT) celebrated the Holy Eucharist for the participants. Dr. Nishan and Rodney Pereira led the two sessions of the day, along with some group activity also. The programme ended with a time of adoration led by Anil that was heart-touching.
The great effort and hard work behind this programme was put by the full-timers of the present batch, Chinkimlung John and Xavier.
