Ciudad Guayana (Agenzia Fides) – “Children and adolescents, you know Jesus, now go and invite other children.” With these simple words, Monsignor Gonzalo Alfredo Ontiveros Vivas, Apostolic Vicar of Caroní since April 2021, encouraged the children of the Vicariate who participated last week in the Jubilee dedicated to them, within the framework of the Jubilee of Hope.The Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) of the Apostolic Vicariate of Caroní organized this Jubilee at the Episcopal See. More than 200 children from the Rectory, parish communities, and indigenous communities participated in these “three days,” lived in an atmosphere of joy and generosity, rediscovering the mission that the little ones carry out in their families and among their peers. Members of apostolic life communities, such as Semillas del Verbo, the Work of Mary, the Missionaries of Peace Community, as well as several diocesan priests, shared their testimonies of missionary life with the children.On the final day, the members of the Cathedral’s Missionary Childhood and Adolescence group, together with the diocesan team of the PMS of the Vicariate and the Children’s Animators of the different communities, received the “imposition” of the scarf around their necks, as a sign of perseverance and commitment to the mission.
