The 2nd Youth Camp held at the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos in Bacolod City recently drew more than a thousand participants and 21 vocation promoters from various Religious Congregations from the Dioceses of Bacolod, Dumaguete and San Carlos Cities.

Bro. Bo Sanchez of Kerygma was the guest speaker. Participants were given time to share in his topic, and the Adoration, Confession and Benediction and the early morning Mass followed, the UNO-R press release said.

Committees that helped the camp were the Society of St. Columban and Order of Augustinian Recollects - secretariat; Order of St. Augustine - finance; Daughters of St. Paul and the UNO-R Mass Communication Department- publicity/promotions; Carmelite Missionaries and La Salle Sisters of Guadalupe - program; UNO-R Campus Ministry and Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco - liturgy; Marian Missionaries of the Holy Cross; Sisters of the Most Holy Trinity and the Order of Augustinian Recollects - registration; Sisters of the Rural Missions and Capuchin Tertiary Sisters - exhibits; Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul - evaluation; and UNO-R Student Catholic Action of the Philippines and Children of Mary - animations. Other participating congregations were the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, Augustinian Recollect Sisters, Conceptionist Missionary Sisters, Missionary Catechists of St. Therese of the Infant Jesus, and Sisters of the Good Samaritan.

The vocation camp is an annual activity to promote more vocations for the religious life. It was conceptualized last year by Fr. Antonio Limchaypo, OAR , Fr. Max Francesco, MMHC, and Sr. Ting Malacad, OSA, the press release added.*
