The Punta Gorda community joined up with the Belize City community to plan and prepare an informational booth about the Sisters of Charity for the annual youth rally. On Saturday, April 11, the Sisters set up their booth to get ready for approximately 600 youths who came to Corozal town from the different districts in Belize to take part in the National Youth Rally.

The youths had a day filled with praise and worship, Mass, adorations, youth presentations, and a march through the streets of Corozal. When the youths got breaks, they were able to pass around to the booths to learn more about the different religious communities present in the country. During the all-day event, the Sisters interacted with several youths, adults, and religious, sharing information about the SCN community.

Raksha Bandhan is a traditional Indian festival that celebrates the bond of love, care, respect, and protection between brothers and sisters. On this day, a sister traditionally ties a rakhi (a sacred or decorative thread) around her brother’s wrist. In return, the brother expresses his love and commitment to care for and support her. Gifts and sweets are also commonly exchanged.

This beautiful tradition was creatively and meaningfully celebrated by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Vasai.
