Almost
everyone was inspired and enlighten during the conference on True Love
and Chastity: A Legacy of Pedro Calungsod, entitled as “Youth and the
Path of Greatness”, at the Pacific Grand Ballroom, Waterfront Hotel in
Lahug, Cebu last August 30, 2012.
The conference paid attention on chastity and modesty and also the
practical ways to help the youth, educators and parents to counter the
“negative trends” on sexuality and sex education.
Among the participants of the conference were the high school and
college students, parents, teachers, educators and young professionals
coming from different institutions.
The main speakers of the conference were Ms. Leah Darrow from America’s
Next Top Model, a US Reality TV show and Mr. Chris Stefanick, director
of Youth and Campus Ministry of the Archdiocese of Denver. They both
shared their time and efforts to reach out to the audience the
importance of keeping the value for one’s self through faith.
Archdiocese of Cebu and the Archdiocesan of Shrine of Blessed Pedro Calungsod together with the Global Corporate Solutions Inc. organized the said event.
The conference promoted awareness regarding the legacy of the soon to
be Saint, Blessed Pedro Calungsod. Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma said that
as the date of Canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod draws near, it is
urgent that everyone is spiritually prepared for the event.
