Fr. Earl Valdez, a Filipino priest and director for youth, has expressed his dedication in educating and involving the youth with Christ in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene at Quiapo, Manila, Philippines.“I see primarily the ministerial priesthood as a gift. Something that God gives and has a reason to exist,” Fr. Valdez said. “I believe the Lord trusts us with something that He can do, so He can transcend through us.
The Filipino priest believes that Synodality reflects the essence of togetherness and the importance of youth participation in their journey with the Church. Aside from inspiring young people to be with God, he also emphasized that they provide “more than just holistic formation. We also give them leadership duties, and leadership duties come with consultation, listening, and directing.”
“In terms of Synodality, we have to be prepared to go through those rough edges of listening,” he said. “Listening is not just passive; listening also entails having the obligation to prepare somebody to take right actions and to hear the right things that they need to hear.” As a youth ministry coordinator, he hopes that the Church will continue to involve more young people and bring them closer to Christ.
