Representatives of regional Catholic youth secretariats met with the Local Organising Committee (LOC) January 17–18 to visit proposed sites where various activities of the AEC Youth Assembly (AECYA) will be held next year.
Dominica will host the Assembly from July 15–26, 2021 under the theme, Youth: the face of Christ fully Alive. The focus will be on helping Caribbean youth to become more courageous missionaries.
The January meeting also served to initiate preliminary discussions on the programme and to make other preparations for the event which is expected to bring together over 800 Catholic youth from the English-, Dutch- and French-speaking Caribbean territories.
