Volunteers, team leaders, and volunteer pivots gathered on January 8 at the Sacred Heart Church in Lisbon for the first meeting of 2023.
The Auxiliary Bishop of Lisbon, during his homily, recalled the words of Pope Francis, where he mentioned that “to be a volunteer is to be a craftsman of mercy.” “I thank God for each of you, for your availability, for your generosity to serve this beautiful project of the mission of the Church, which is the World Youth Day”, he added.
During the first session of the afternoon, Margarida Manaia, responsible for the Direction of Reception and Volunteering , stressed that “being a volunteer is the best thing about World Youth Day” and that “this service to others in WYD is to embody the theme of WYD Lisbon 2023”. Beatriz Ribeiro, head of the central team, emphasised the importance of this type of initiative and meeting since it allows us to “realise that WYD is really about getting closer”, as well as “to understand what our role will be in this world meeting”.
