Young Catholic students say a camp organized for them by the Singapore Archdiocese has helped them better appreciate their faith.
"It took a really long time to allow myself to open my heart up to God but I still did it in my end, so I am very happy," Paula-Teresa Chua, 17, who will be entering Singapore Polytechnic in April, told Catholic News.
Many others said they felt "empowered," "renewed" and "assured" through their experience at the camp.
Seventy-eight young people from various parishes took part in the first Combined Polytechnic Catholic Camp organized by the archdiocese's Office for Young People, Catholic News reported.
The camp was open to young Catholic youths entering or are now in polytechnic with an aim to help them form a community and to empower them spiritually in their student life.
