The first youth mass in Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Parish was celebrated on 24 June 2012. The youth mass is a special type of mass because it is organized and structured by the youth; where even the choir worship songs were accompanied by a live band of young performers.
It was attended by about 120 youths from different centers in the parish including those who came from the Tep Im Student Center, Arrupe Welcome Center, Salesian Center, Lidy House, and the youths that form the choir group, SSVP group, football and taekwondo teams. Fr. Totet and Bro. Soo Young led the Youth Mass with the support of youth leaders.
Before mass, trivia question and answer games were held to help the youths get more familiar with each other. Seven representatives from the different groups participated. Prizes such as t-shirts and pendants bearing the symbols of the church were awarded to those who successfully answered questions about the history and general knowledge about the Catholic traditions. The representative from the choir group got the first place while a tied score for second place was shared by representatives from Salesian and Tep Im student centers. The biography of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga was also presented in honor of his Feast Day last 21 June. Saint Gonzaga is the patron saint of youth and students.
