Nitesh Bhalerao VIRAR, NOVEMBER 6, 2008: The youth of Resurrection Church, under the guidance of Fr. Edwin Colaco, organized a workshop on “Values for Life” for the youth of the Vasai Diocese on Sunday, 2nd November 2008 at Resurr
ection Church, Virar. The programme began with the ‘Holy Eucharist’. The 92 participants were later divided into four groups. A sheet containing ten different values was then given to the respective groups. The groups were then asked to choose any three values and rank them according to their priority. The youth from Resurrection Church then organized an ‘Auction Game’. Each group was given Rs. 500 and ten different values were put up for auction. The bidding started and the groups began buying different values. When the ninth value was auctioned, the groups were given an option to give away any amount of money they had to any other group. This was done in order to see how generous they could be as they competed to buy the values. The points were given according to the values ranked earlier. The participants noticed they had bought different values from the ones that they had chosen and ranked earlier. Thro
ugh this game, they realized the importance of first setting their priorities and then focusing on achieving it under any circumstances. The participants were then asked to reflect on the values they had learned and how they would use it in their personal and social lives. Fr. Blany Pinto, Parish Priest, Resurrection Church conducted a session on how to motivate the youth to join the youth group. The programme ended with a jam session which the youth enjoyed.
