Featured Story

“In the heart of Meki, the Apostolic Vicariate of Meki (AVM) is transforming lives through its youth ministry programs. At St. Mary’s Parish, young Catholics gather weekly for catechesis, leadership training, and community service. Last month, 50 youth participated in a peace building workshop, fostering unity in East Shoa. “This program helped me grow in faith and serve my community,” says 17-year-old Aster. With AVM’s support, these young leaders are building a brighter future.”
