ANCHORED 2026 - Bosco Youth Quepem

Bosco Youth Quepem organised ANCHORED 2026, a vibrant youth gathering centred on faith, friendship and fellowship. The event brought together close to 100 youngsters, creating an atmosphere of joy, enthusiasm and togetherness.


The day began with the Holy Eucharist, focusing on the theme of God as the anchor of our lives. The celebration offered the young people an opportunity to pause, reflect and recognise the importance of remaining rooted in God amidst the challenges and uncertainties of life. Following the Eucharist, participants completed registration and enjoyed snacks and refreshments, setting the tone for a joyful day ahead.

The highlight of the gathering was the energetic session of fun activities, games and group moments. The participants were divided into 10 teams, and each team took part with tremendous enthusiasm, energy and team spirit. The games encouraged cooperation, communication, healthy competition and, above all, friendship. The youth thoroughly enjoyed themselves as they laughed, cheered for their teams and created new memories together.

The Chit Chat session provided a more relaxed space for the youngsters to interact, share experiences and get to know one another better. It was an opportunity to build connections beyond the games and activities and to strengthen the sense of belonging within the youth community.

The gathering concluded with a lively prize distribution, celebrating the enthusiasm, participation and team spirit displayed throughout the day. A special Message Wall became a beautiful collection of thoughts, experiences and reflections from the participants. The messages expressed gratitude for the day, appreciation for the friendships formed and excitement about future gatherings.


ANCHORED 2026 was truly a celebration of faith, friendship and fun. The enthusiasm of the young people made the event memorable, and many left with happy hearts, new friendships and a renewed desire to stay rooted in faith and anchored in friendship. The participants eagerly look forward to the next Bosco Youth Quepem gathering.
