Young people of Sacred Heart Parish in Tonj are already taking part in the congress of Catholic Diocese of Rumbek.
The congress that started on Wednesday morning at Holy Family Cathedral in Rumbek, is expected to conclude on December 19, Radio Don Bosco reports.
Fr Peter Kariuki, Tonj Parish Youth Chaplain, says they prepared skits, songs and games for the event.
He says the state authorities have assured him that the security will be taken care of.
Fr Kariuki says the event is mainly to help youth to develop their vocation and be merciful to one another.
Each parish has been given a chance to send 50 young people for the congress.
The Diocese organizes this event every year for youth in the parishes under Rumbek Diocese, but it was postponed in 2015 due to insecurity across the country.
