Along the main road the performance of the Lord’s passion played starting with the narrator’s intonation, in the garden. The heavy cross of 10’x6’ was laid on the shoulder of the central actor.

‘A very moving service, almost after a gap of about 20 years’ commented the ladies and the Anglicans, who had their worship in the morning, were encouraged to go to the Catholic church at 3.00 pm when the Noro Catholic community normally have the Veneration of the Cross.

And in Canaan a beautiful way of the cross was organized by the families living around that location.
Each station a cross with the picture of the particular station was placed.

After prayer and singing at each station, the cross is also carried in a procession and at the end of it, all the 14 crosses are heaped in one place to be burnt on Easter Vigil for the new fire and to light the Paschal candle from this fire. This reminds them their own failures of the past one year for all people to witness and be nail it all as the cross, trudge along the way carrying it, to help them purge the hurts and wounds, and finally burn it to lead a new life, purified by the fire of the Vigil.

The workshop aimed primarily to assist these young individuals in understanding the seven priorities of the CBC PNG/SI Catholic Youth Ministry and to explore potential actions. This initiative encouraged them to participate in group discussions and deliver presentations.

The workshop was facilitated by Sr. Sharon Palencia, a Youth Commission for Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. In her concluding remarks, she emphasized that the main goal of the Youth Ministry is to guide young people in meeting, accepting, and committing themselves to Christ.

Her speech underscored the central aim of the Youth Ministry, PNG/SI, which is to disseminate the gospel among young people, empowering them to take an active role in evangelizing the world.

Sister Sharon stated that their program has now progressed to phase 3. However, the Solomon Islands is currently unable to advance to that stage, but can participate from phase 3 back to phase 1.

Significant moments during the workshop included the celebration of Solomon Islands Independence Day, which coincided with the event, as well as the observance of the Feast of Blessed Peter To Rot in anticipation of his forthcoming canonization as a saint in October 2025.

The Paschal Candle and Cross and the reason
of our Jubilee pilgrimage Called and chosen

60 years have passed since the Catholic Church has been recognized as the Apostolic Vicariate. We recognize the initiative of God through the missionary passion of the Marist fathers from Bouganville to the Shortlands and Choiseul to plant the seed of Christianity, followed by the Dominican order as soon as the Apostolic Vicariate was established.

Most Rev, Bishop Luciano Capelli sdb
