Wau Catholic Diocese on Saturday organized a one-day youths workshop at Palica Centre to plan for the second youth conference in November.
Wau Diocesan Youth Coordinator Moses Peter Joseph told Voice of Hope that the conference will equip young people to become good Christians in communities.
He said they want to orient youths through church ethical values to become leaders able to serve in various communities across the country.
Fr Peter added that it was a chance for youths to express their views and report to the diocese activities and challenges facing them.
He acknowledged challenges facing youths in the diocese as numerous citing lack of coordination between youths and Parish Priests.
The Youth Coordinator said youths should be involved in Church activities because they are the backbone of the nation.
The cleric called on all people to cooperate with youths and support them to boost their morale for nation building.
He urged all youths to get committed and continue with charitable work.
More than 18 participants from sixteen parishes of Wau Diocese attended the workshop.
