Diocese of Gulbarga
“Yuva Chethana Youth Retreat”
The Diocese of Gulbarga organized a powerful spiritual journey named ‘Yuva Chethana Retreat’ for the
youth of the diocese from October 18 -20, 2024, at St. Joseph’s School, Bidar, welcoming 157 young
participants eager explore their faith and deepen their spirituality. Guided by Fr. Roman Pinto’s
inspiring words, they began a journey of faith and self discovery. Through engaging talks and self
reflection, he focused on strengthening faith highlighting the word of God, and the sacrament of
confession. A healing prayer session also provided a space for spiritual renewal. The guidance of the
fathers led the youth for a closer relationship with God, and the desire to develop prayer life. They left
the retreat equipped with tools to navigate life’s challenges and embrace their roles as active members
of the church.
