National Youth Training Café Inaugurated at Gurugram, Delhi

Gurugram, 17 May 2025: The National Youth Training Café, organised by YCS YSM India, was officially inaugurated on 17th May 2025 at the Shofar Convention Centre, Gurugram, under the Archdiocese of Delhi. The training programme will continue until 22nd May 2025, bringing together young leaders and animators from six regions across the country.

The day began with the registration of participants, followed by a briefing session and an engaging ice-breaking activity that set a warm and vibrant tone for the days ahead.

The inaugural Holy Mass was solemnly celebrated by Anil J.T. Couto, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Delhi. He was joined by Fr. Chetan Machado, National Chaplain of YCS YSM India, along with several other priests from various regions. In his homily, Archbishop Couto encouraged the young people, saying, “You are not just the future, you are the present too.” His words inspired the participants to take ownership of their role in shaping society with responsibility and faith.

The liturgical celebration was made even more special by the melodious choir led by the YCS/YSM team of the Archdiocese of Delhi, adding a beautifully spiritual atmosphere to the occasion.

The inauguration marked the beginning of a week filled with learning, leadership training, fellowship, and a deeper understanding of the YCS YSM spirit.
