Preparations for the 5th Asian Youth Day to be celebrated November 20-27, 2009 in the Philippines started on March 14, 2009 in Silang, Cavite, Philippines. The Episcopal Commission on Youth, the Imus Diocese, and Youth Desk of the FABC Office for Laity and Family were the organizers of the assembly. Some 1,000 young people were present at the Nuestra Senora dela Candelaria parish of Silang where the Asian Youth Day will be held in November.
The celebration began with a brief background on the Asian Youth Day. Organized by the Youth Desk of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences, the AYD has been held in Thailand (1999), Taiwan (2001), India (2003) and Hong Kong (2006). Through these events, young Asian Catholics are able to celebrate their faith, deepen their love for Church and are inspired to take on their mission in the midst of realities in Asia. Youth Commissions have likewise benefited in formation in ministry and through collaboration with each other.
Part of the launching was also the presentation of the official logo and the theme song for the Asian Youth Day. The AYD Cross, which has travelled all over Asia, started its journey in the Philippines, with visits to different parishes in the Imus diocese. From there, it will go to other places in the country to unite all in prayer for the upcoming event.
The theme of this year's AYD is "Young Asians, Come Together, Share the Word and Live the Eucharist." .240309 ---------------- 5th ASIAN Youth Day 2009 The FABC-OLF-Youth Desk is organizing the 5th Asian Youth Day (AYD) to be held in the Philippines on November 20-27, 2009.

Among the highlights of the event are 3-day Parish/Host Family experiences, plenary sessions on the Word and Eucharist, sub-regional reflections and deepening experiences, workshops and meaningful prayers and liturgies. There will also be post-AYD workshops.
