Fr. Charles D&#8217; Souza SJ at St. Mary Catholic Church in Jakhama on December 22.<\/p>\n<p>A press release from CYAJ member, Max Khieya stated that, speaking at the inaugural function, Rev. Fr. D&#8217; Souza said golden jubilee was a time when cultivation of land is put to rest sacrificing one year to God with no grudges, anger, enmity or negativity.<\/p>\n<p>He also advised the youth to be grateful to God for their parents, well-being, health and lives and uncountable blessings given by God. He also told them to live like angels since God has allotted a purpose for everyone to live positively. Rev. Fr. D&#8217; Souza also encouraged everyone to prepare for eternal life.<\/p>\n<p>Stating that youth were the link between children and older people, the priest urged them to go to Church at least once a week and reminded them of the commandment to observe the Lord&#8217;s day. He also said that youth were the future of the Church and urged them to bring their parents and younger siblings to Church also.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Keleto John read from the Bible; blessing for jubilee gifts was offered by Rev. Fr. Benny Varghese, administrator St. Joseph&#8217;s College Jakhama.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Elders of the Church, including those above eighty years of age, were felicitated with presents on the opening day of the jubilee.<\/p>\n<p>A special number was presented by Vikukhoto Johnson and friends, and the program was chaired by Kikozol Richard.<\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CYAJ Golden Jubilee begins<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[679],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nagaland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187313\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
