COLOMBIA: “Childhood and Adolescence, pilgrims of hope and love!”

This year, Missionary Childhood and Adolescence Day in Colombia, celebrated on the first Sunday of May, turned into a real journey of faith that lasted the entire month and involved parishes and communities throughout Colombia. Formative meetings, Eucharistic celebrations, gestures of solidarity, moments of prayer and artistic performances with children and adolescents as protagonists mobilized the entire country (https://www.facebook.com/POIAMdeColombia).

The initiative, whose motto was ‘Childhood and Adolescence, pilgrims of hope and love!’, received support from the National Secretariat of the Colombian Pontifical Society of Holy Childhood, which produced a kit of materials in digital and printed format, designed to nurture missionary spirituality: https://ompdecolombia.org/poiam-jornada
