On Friday, 5 September 2025, a day of celebration was held at the SDC Centre of Puente Piedra, Peru. Nine teenagers, who regularly attend the SDC centre for their faith formation, received the Ceremony of the Elect. During the celebration, the Superior General delivered a virtual message encouraging them to recognise that Christ Crucified is the one true protagonist whom they must keep at the heart of their lives. The question, ‘For whom am I?’ was also posed, inviting them to reflect on the purpose of their lives.
Let us pray in a special way for these nine elects, that Jesus may remain at the centre of their lives. May other young people be inspired by their example and take their friendship with Jesus to heart, so as to carry out His will in their own lives.
