CEBU CITY, Philippines – This year’s Seven Last Words will put emphasis on the need to help empower the youth especially in accomplishing their goals, said Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma.

The annual event that will be held at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral on Good Friday will carry the theme: “Filipino Youth in Mission: Beloved, Gifted, Empowered.”

It will feature speakers that will include Rev. Fr. Andrei Ventanilla, Secretary of the Archbishop of Cebu and Vice Chairperson of the Commission on Youth; Rev. Fr.
