Youth Commission

The progress in the spirituality vis-à-vis the social life of the youth in the Archdiocese of Visakhapatnam are very much appreciable along with their attitude to serve the church in different levels according to the talents received from God.

The Leadership provided by His Grace Most Rev Mallavarapu Prakash, Archbishop of Visakhapatnam is indeed commendable because he accepts new ideas. The ever vibrant and youthful Director, Fr. Arji Prakash always came up with fresh innovative methods to involve the Youth who need a catalyst like him. The Youth could achieve so much only because of his willingness to work with us on any Project and bring out the best in us.

The support of the Youth Diocese President Ms. Fatima Antony and the Vice President Mr. Anil besides the Secretary Ms. Monica Rosy Samad’s untiring and relentless efforts made each event a success with meticulous planning and execution.
