The first National Spiritual Renewal of the YouFra (Franciscan Youth) of Bosnia and Herzegovina

date: 12.12.2014.

The first National Spiritual Renewal of Bosnia and Herzegovina YouFra was held from December 5-7, 2014 in Medjugorje, with the theme: “Freely you have received, freely give” Mt 10:8. The main goal of the spiritual renewal was the preparation for Christmas, but also bonding two fraternities of Herzegovina and Bosnia. Around 100 young people gathered for this event from all over the country. The programme began with registration and gathering in the Hall of St. John Paul II, and they all joined the evening prayer programme for the Rosary and Holy Mass in the parish church of St. James. During this period of three-day spiritual gathering, the Franciscan Youth had chance to participate in the evening prayer programme and they also visited Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain. Many of them said that the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was the most beautiful part of this spiritual renewal that ended with the Holy Mass for all of the participants.
