Province of Bangalore: National Youth Sunday was celebrated with enthusiasm and fervour across various Claretian parishes on Sunday, 13 August 2023. Approximately 400 youths from different parishes gathered in their respective places to reflect upon the theme, "Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." The event aimed to emphasize the importance of obedience to parents while empowering the youth to integrate the virtue of obedience into their lives.

The National Youth Day celebration was celebrated in the most of the parishes with Holy Eucharist and other prayer services. Some parishes also organised meaningful discussions and group activities for the youth based on the theme of the day to make it more interactive. Some of them also made use of the opportunity to raise awareness about the social and national issues.

Thus, the National Youth Sunday organised at Claretian parishes/institutions served as a platform for the youth to gather, reflect, and learn about the importance of obeying parents within the context of their faith. Through interactive sessions, expert inputs, and empowering activities, participants were equipped with a deeper understanding of obedience and its role in fostering strong family bonds. The event successfully inspired the youth to embrace obedience as a virtue and integrate it into their lives as they continue to grow in their spiritual journey.
