Don Bosco Youth Paschers Reunion 2026

The Don Bosco Youth Paschers Reunion was held on 17th May, 2026 at Eden Farms, bringing together sixty paschers from previous years for a day of faith, fellowship, and reflection. 

The program began with the  registration and a light-hearted icebreaker that helped everyone settle in and reconnect. This was followed by a Eucharistic Celebration, where everyone came together in thanksgiving. A brief reflection period followed post the mass. The mood deepened further as paschers shared personal testimonies on faith, community, and the ways their journey with Don Bosco Youth programme had shaped them.





After lunch, the paschers were split into five groups to discuss the year’s upcoming events and to elect the new Paschers committee. The conversations were lively and collaborative, with both older and younger ones contributing ideas and encouragement.


The afternoon concluded with a biblical treasure hunt across the farm. A few additional games followed, keeping the energy joyful and inclusive.



Having paschers from previous years alongside the most recent fostered meaningful conversations and rekindled old connections that might otherwise have faded. Eden Farms’ open, tranquil setting provided the perfect backdrop, with its green spaces and calm atmosphere allowing the day to feel both relaxed and convivial.


It was an amazing day, one that reminded everyone of the strength of community and the joy of shared catholic faith. Lasting memories were made, and many left feeling encouraged to carry the spirit of the reunion into the year ahead
