St. Joseph parish Moli Choiseul celebrated their Easter as one of the most peaceful one this year. The peace event has gathered parishioners from five big villages and many small locations together for the Holy week.

On   the   Easter   Vigil,   celebration was supposed   to be on 8 pm but began on 5 pm.   Because   of   the population of about 2000 and the mission, station is an island, which is in the center of those villages, other villages have to travel more than an hour and parishioners have to cross by boat to the church.

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 youth participants hailed from Vanga, Gizo, and Noro, encompassing the two parishes involved.

  After the event, 20 individuals were awarded their certificates.
