4 Good news Praise the Lord Jesus Christ Ecclesiastes 11: :1-3, Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. 10. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. 1. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; 2. While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 3. In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, 12. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Psalms. 119 : BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 10. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 11. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 12. Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. Ephesians 6 : Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

5 Message from the Chief Guest I deem it a great privilege to be able to participate at the Youth Night that will be taking place in London on September 19, 2015, along with some Tamil Youth from Bergen, Norway. I am sure this is going to be a great event showcasing the multifaceted talents of our youth living in London. I am quite pleased at the fact that our Tamil youth living in London have this wonderful opportunity to come together once a year and I would like to congratulate Fr.Sebanesaratnam, the Catholic Chaplain for Tamils in London for supporting this initiative. It is my wish that this Youth Night should gradually evolve into a celebration where our youth from different countries in Europe could come together and meet with one another. Jesus said I have come so that you may have life and life to the full. May this event become a life-giving event for all the youth participating at this event. I would like to extend my heartfelt wishes to all those engaged in organizing this important event.looking forward to seeing you all on September 19th. Edmund Reginald Saveripillai OMI Chaplain for Tamils St.Paul s Church, Bergen,Norway.

7 Message by the Youth Secretary Our Dear Chief Guest Edmund Reginald, Rev. Fr. Sebanesaratnam, the member of the Committee, dear Youth, Ladies and Gentlemen I am truly honored to deliver this short message of felicitation. First of all, words are inadequate to express my joy and my deep gratitude for the opportunity and the term of office that I have been granted to lead the youth team of the Tamil Chaplaincy. I am truly thankful to Rev. Fr. Sebanesaratnam and the Committee for their unstinted support and encouragement given to me at all times. Although I joined the Chaplaincy back in years, I have never got fully involved until last year when I was invited to take part in the Passion play. Without any doubt, my active involvement in that Play and the subsequent leadership of the Youth group have truly helped me to get interested more and more in the spiritual animation of the Tamil Youth, for which I am thankful to the good Lord. With deep sentiments of gratitude, I congratulate all the Youth Members of our Chaplaincy for what they are to us. They are very precious gift to our Christian society. They are the future leaders of the Church. At this juncture, I would like to bring to your memories the message the Holy Father Pope Francis for the next World Youth Day to be held in Krakow in Highlighting on the importance of true love of the Youth, he rightly says, Youth is a time of life when your desire for a love which is genuine, beautiful and expansive begins to blossom in your hearts. How powerful is this ability to love and to be loved! Do not let this precious treasure be debased, destroyed or spoiled. That is what happens when we start to use our neighbors for our own selfish ends, even as objects of pleasure. Hearts are broken and sadness follows upon these negative experiences. I urge you: Do not be afraid of true love, the love that Jesus teaches us and which Saint Paul describes as patient and kind. Paul says: Love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1 Cor 13:4-8). And so, as we gather to celebrate this unique occasion of the Youth Day of our Chaplaincy, I stand here, inviting all of you dear Youth, to be adventurers of that true love. It is my fervent desire that you become a revolutionary, setting an example in the path of Christ, against the standards of this world which seeks happiness and pleasure alone. We need to have a high standard of living based on the values of God s Kingdom. And so, begin to love your parents and appreciate their love for you. Cultivate a true love, commitment and responsibility to your life, so that you will realize that you are unique and precious, called by God. Thank you for your patience and I wish you all a very joyous and successful evening. May God bless you and your families! Enjoy the evening! Charles Amir Louis

8 Some Quotations to think about Put your heart into dance and the dance will never leave your heart The best way to predict your future is to create it! I've learned that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person. Did you know that opportunities are never lost? That's because someone will always take the ones you miss! Borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back. The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. Always laugh when you can. It is cheapest medicine. Solid advice: If you always tell the truth, you never have to remember any thing! Positive thinkers have a solution for every problem, negative thinkers have a problem for every solution. God is like Oxygen. You can t see him but you can t live without him. If you walk in the light, the world will follow you but if you walk in the dark, even your shadow will not follow you. There are three entities on the planet. God- He knows everything & knows what to do Human- He can learn from others & do better Donkey- They will never learn anything. And finally, Work hard, Have fun, Help others, don t harm others because life is too short!

9 Humour Three 5-year-old boys were sitting in the park arguing over whose Dad was the greatest. One said, My Dad is the greatest because he s the town s Mayor." The second boy said, That s pretty good, but my Dad owns the biggest hotel in town." The third boy said, "That s nothing, my Dad owns Hell. Before he came back from the pub late last night, my mum said she was going to give it to him."

10 Southwark youth retreat at Aylesford in June 2015

11 Talk by Southwark diocese youth group on Bishop Romero with the youths and below youths from various parishes.

12 Introduction to our Youth St. Don Bosco Tamil youth team, based in Kenton was founded by Rev. Fr. Seba in June 2013 and led by Rev. Fr. Thirumahan. We chose St. Don Bosco to be our saint, since he was a man that dedicated his life to improve the education of street children and the disadvantaged youth. In the same way we hoped that the members of our youth team will also offer their time and efforts into helping the unfortunate children in our homeland, Sri Lanka. The motto of the Don-Bosco Youth Team is Love your neighbour as yourself (Mark 12:31), which is one of the greatest commandments in the Bible. The youth team is set up not only to increase the faith amongst the youngsters in our own community, but also to reflect upon the difficult times that other children our age are going through. It was also our aim to raise funds and share the love for our brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka who are not as fortunate as us. We have organised many events this year, which are both fund raising and educative for the youth. We meet up at least once or twice a month and discuss our input for the upcoming events which are both liturgical and social. Some of the events that we have organised for the youth include seasonal youth retreats, youth night, carol singing, youth CD, Mary statue, Christmas sales and numerous other sales. The youth have developed so much during this year, they are now in a position where they can sing along to Tamil songs and play the music as well. We thank Fr. Seba for giving the youth this wonderful opportunity, and we will continue to strive and perform well as the youth. Kenton Group

13 Development of the youth We started a youth group about a year ago and we started off as a small group and now there s so many of us. In the beginning some of us knew each other and some of us didn t but, in the end we all got a bit of confidence and introduced each other and became great friends. At first we were still discovering each other s talents and they are yet to be discovered today. All of these talents e.g. singing, dancing was shared amongst everyone and built up more assurance in the youth. We have learnt to stick up for each other when someone is in trouble. We have done so much together like singing Christmas carols, performing for the youth night or doing Christmas sales. As the time progressed to youth night, not everyone was up for it (mainly the dancing) but as always we were determined to do it anyway and perfect it for the youth night. There were some ups and downs where some people wouldn t agree to things however we always managed to push past it and carry on. Our friendship has got stronger and stronger that now we are one big family. Throughout the time we have learnt from our mistakes and have been there when someone s upset. We have grown and developed through this year and hopefully it will continue. Irene Indiran

14 1 st Retreat It was a gloomy morning, the rain was hammering down whilst the clouds enclosed the sun from any visible sunshine. Nevertheless, that did not stop the recently formed St. Don Bosco Kenton Youth group from enjoying their first ever retreat together. The journey was led by our youth co-ordinator Noieline Mariabalanayagam, with the assistance of Disath s iphone particularly when we were not able to find the tube station. We initiated this memorable experience in the car park of All Saints Church. We arrived, unsurprisingly early, and then set up the church hall for the retreat. There were going to be three different people giving lectures that day. Fr. Robinson spoke about how he does work with the youth at his place. We had a lunch break at which there was remarkable food, which was Kotthu Roti, and chicken wings. I ate more than my belly could take. There were some youth members that decided to entertain us with their immaculate voices. There were also two professors who travelled all the way from Sri Lanka, to lecture us about religion and its purposes and how vital it is for the youth. We were joined by Fr. Seba and Fr. Thiru who organised this event. They lead the elections for significant roles such as the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer of our youth. As the evening came to an end, so did the retreat and we concluded our visit by taking one huge group photo of the Tamil youth group. It was a worthwhile outing and I m sure that I speak for everyone who came to that retreat that they learnt something significant. Neroshan Mariabalanayagam
