From 3 to 6 November, the SSCC Youth National Meeting was held in Guayaquil, Ecuador. A similar one took place the previous year, on the occasion of the visit of Pope Francis. This time around 170 young people have gathered in the SSCC parish of Guayaquil, coming from our SSCC presences in Quito, La Concordia and Guayaquil.
The theme of the meeting was the Year of Mercy. The parish families welcomed the young people into their homes. Three intense days with moments of prayer, formation, sharing, celebrating ... The "Holy Door" was crossed at the Sanctuary of Mercy and there was also a celebration at the cathedral of Guayaquil, where Bishop Luis Cabrera welcomed them.
It has been a joint pastoral work experience that has helped young people to deepen
their discipleship of Jesus, the mercy of the Father.
Note.- Soon a post about this event will be published in the BLOG SSCC.
