A few years ago, a youth from our parish participated in a CCIDD camp organized in Mexico and found the experience very rewarding, thus he suggested that the Young People Pastoral Team forms a group to participate in that camp. Thanks to the effort of the parishioner, this dream has finally come true.<br/><br/>

CCIDD stands for Cuernavaca Center for Intercultural Dialogue on Development. Cuernavaca is a city about half an hour drive from Mexico City, with a population of 1 million. Since it is 1500 m above sea level, the local climate is quite chilly.<br/><br/>

The CCIDD was founded by a bishop and current run under joint Catholic and Protestant supervision. The goals of CCIDD are three-fold:<br/><br/>

(1) Experiencing the reality of life in Mexico.
(2) Observing how community and faith based groups respond to this reality through a liberating commitment.
(3) Analyzing the overall Latin America/Global reality and our responsibility within it.<br/><br/>

Due to Fr. Joseph Fu's timely assistance in parish duties, I am able to go to Mexico with 20 youths to take part in this year's CCIDD camp from June 15 to 26. Please keep us in your prayers.<br/><br/>

Another good news: Bishop Richard Grecco has agreed to celebrate the Parish Feast day Thanksgiving Mass on Saturday, July 5 at 6 pm.
