As the Catholic Church celebrates 2019 as the Year of the Youth, the St. Paul of Chartres Education Ministry, together with the Christian Formation National Office, is holding an assembly called Paulinian Youth in Worship for Visayas and Mindanao on July 24-26.
St. Paul University Dumaguete is hosting this opportunity to share and proclaim God’s love for the youth, where about 500 representatives from various Paulinian schools and hospitals from Visayas and Mindanao are expected to attend.
Some of the highlights of the assembly include: A Walk to Remember, a group walk from the St. Paul campus along the national highway, to the SPC landmark at the boulevard, to culminate at the Dumaguete Cathedral where an image of Jaro Bishop Frederick Rooker is located.

It was Monsignor Rooker who had invited the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres to serve in his Diocese, which included, at that time in 1904, half of the states of Visayas and of Mindanao. His congregation developed a chain of universities in the Philippines which became known for training nurses.
The structure at the Dumaguete boulevard depicts seven Sisters from Chartres, France on a banca as they landed here from Vietnam on Oct. 29, 1904. Their mission from Bishop Rooker was to establish here the first St. Paul school in the Philippines.
Other highlight of the assemly include Cherishing the Emmaus Experience, a scripture-based sharing with reflection and commitment; A Night of Worship with songs in videos; and I Am an Empowered Paulinian, a talk show with outstanding Paulinians. (PR)
