The young people of St Kizito in the Catholic Archdiocese of Juba on Tuesday celebrated the feast of St Francis of Assisi under the theme: ‘Be merciful’.
St Francis was an iconic saint in life of the youth of St Kizito who showed the life of simplicity, said Peter Ceasario, chairperson of the organizing committee.
Ceasario said the Catholic Church dedicated this year as Jubilee Year of Mercy because South Sudan needs mercy, forgiveness and reconciliation.
The chairperson added that this year celebration is unique because the message is not only to the youth but also to the society as a whole.
