A warm and prayerful farewell was extended to the outgoing Catholic youth members of Nagaland University in a heartfelt celebration held at St. Clare Church, Akuluto. The Eucharistic celebration began at 11:30 a.m. and was presided over by Fr. Stephen D’Souza, Parish Priest of St. Clare Church on 25th May 2025. The outgoing students — Barnadette, Chunchun, Angela, Colin Mary, Vincent and Avupi — were honored for their dedication, support, and spiritual contributions during their time with the youth group.

In a significant moment during the Mass, the new executive members of the Catholic youth were introduced and prayed over. Fr. Stephen blessed them, asking the Lord to guide them in their responsibilities and service to the community.

The newly appointed members included President, Mr. David; Liturgy Secretary, Ms. Catherine; Assistant Liturgy Secretary, Ms. Hanrita Lucy; Music Secretary, Mr. Effort and Assistant Music Secretary, Ms. Grace.

These young leaders, stepping forward in humility and readiness, received encouragement from both the outgoing team and the wider church community. The prayer of commissioning marked a sacred moment of transition and new beginnings for the group, anchoring their future leadership in faith and unity.
