AKBAY: THE BEGINNING YEARS (1980-1983)

Sacred Heart Parish Church

In 1980, our new Pastoral Worker, Jean Llorin (in memory), created a development program for the youth in Sacred Heart Parish. It was called Youth Formation and the objective was to train the youth in leadership and provide spiritual growth.

Many young people from the choirs, the Alagads, the EAP (Educational Aid Program), Quezon City High School, religious organizations and neighboring streets joined.
