The "Work of Love" Association, Schio, is currently
organising its 10th International Youth Meeting, which will be
held at San Martino, Schio (province of Vicenza, N.E. Italy). Over
the past years the aim of this annual gathering has been to
communicate, with the help of guest speakers and performers, a
message of faith expressed through music, testimony and friendship.
For many young people, both from Italy and elsewhere in Europe,
this has become a priority event, and sometimes an alternative to
the traditional type of summer holiday. This year, too, a number
of speakers who are highly committed to social solidarity and
youth will be taking part in the Meeting. They include Father
Oreste Benzi and Carlo Climati, both of whom will be discussing in
depth various topical social problems which involve them in a
daily struggle to defend the weakest members of society.
Father Oreste Benzi, is well known for his
work on behalf of the family, youth, the disadvantaged and
prostitutes. He is also the founder of the "Pope John XXIII"
Association, which is spread throughout Italy and deals with all
forms of physical and mental disability.
Carlo Climati, is a writer and journalist
committed to supporting young people, particularly by examining
those negative phenomena which have a disorienting effect on them
and encourage their interest in the esoteric, magic, the occult
and spiritism. He is also the author of the book "I giovani e
l'esoterismo" -[Young people and the esoteric](Ed. Paoline).
In addition, he works with GRIS (Group for Research and
Information on Sects), with the daily newspaper Avvenire and the
SIR (Religious Information Service) Press Agency. He is
responsible for the Press Office of the Regina Apostolorum
Pontifical Athenaeum, Rome, and also creates radio and TV
programmes.
Each of the four days of the Meeting will begin with Holy Mass at
9.30 a.m., followed by talks and testimonies. After the lunch
break the programme will resume at 4 p.m. with the recitation of
the Holy Rosary, after which there will be further talks on
specific subjects.
On the evening of Sunday 12 and Monday 13 August there will be a
Prayer Vigil with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, from 10 to
02.00 a.m.
On the evening of 14 August, at 9 p.m., the annual eagerly awaited
concert of Christian singers/song-writers will take place. This
year the participants include: Fr. Paolo Spoladore (Padua),
Fr. Mimmo Jervolino (Naples), The Spirit and Soul Singers (Gospel
group from Turin), Ornella Taziani and Alice Renzi (both from Rome).
The guest of the evening will be Giacomo Celentano, son
of Adriano, who will present his new CD entitled "Tra
noi" [Between ourselves]. On the evening of 15 August the
traditional Way of the Cross on Monte di Cristo will bring this
10th Meeting to a close.
