The 76th-year Prelate thanked the Lord God for the life of the Youth and greeted the Youth before heading to St. Joseph's Cathedral, Gulu. He noted that the future of the Church is in the hands of the Youth he asked the Youth: who can stand in faith like Blessed Daudi Okello and Jildo Irwa? There are so many Youth and where do their faith and lives stand? Youth must stand firm in faith. The coming of Christ into the world was to give a new law that you love one another and love unite people: in love there's mercy, there's peace and there's truth. So, stand firm in faith. In his conclusion, he said to the Youth that even those who desire a family life, pray to the Lord that He gives you the best wife or the best husband, the one you will live together until death do you apart.
