PHNOM PENH: 13 May 2010 -- “Be the light of the world among
fellow young Cambodians by the witness of lives and mutual love” was

one-day retreat at the Salesian Parish of Mary, Our Help, Phnom Penh
Thmey, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Sunday, May 9, 2010 with 220 Catholic youth
coming from the different parishes of the Vicariate.
Led by Jesus Youth International, a vibrant
group of young people who start their lives afresh from Jesus, the
retreat was an option to give time to the Lord responding to the
challenges of today’s need in the power of the Word and the Spirit.
Hence, the retreat was a reaching out to young people to focus their
lives on the power of God’s love, experience the Eucharist and
Fellowship and share the Good News with one another.
The event was graced by the visit of the Coadjutor
Bishop, Rev. Olivier Schmitthaeusler, while Bishop Emile Destombes
celebrated the concluding mass. Fr. Leo Ochoa gave the homily which
challenged the participants to be the light of the world among fellow
young Cambodians by the witness of the lives and the love for one
another. _________________ AustraLasia is an
