🌟 Why This Program?

Young people today are surrounded by confusing voices about identity, sexuality, and love. Many struggle to understand and appreciate who they are, how to view and handle matters on gender and sex, and seek what is God’s plan for them in their lives.

This one-day program creates a safe, engaging, and Spirit-filled space where youth can:

  • Discover their true identity as sons and daughters of God.
  • Learn to see their body, gender, sex and sexuality as gifts with meaning and purpose.
  • Understand the beauty of real love — free, faithful, fruitful, and total.
  • Ask honest questions and receive mature answers in a trusting, non-judgmental and caring space.

🎯 Program Objectives

By the end of the day, participants will:

✅ Recognize their dignity as God’s beloved creation.
✅ Understand that sex is sacred, that sexuality is not taboo, but rather, part of God’s loving life-nourishing design.
✅ See how precious real love is, so far from mere fleeting emotions, and so opposite to lust.
✅ Grow in confidence to make choices based on God’s love and truth.
✅ Encounter Christ through prayer, reflection, animation and community sharing.
