This is a national ministry, held annually, that consists
of onsite workshops for youth and youth ministers in
the national black Catholic community. Our vision is to
enrich or establish youth ministries in the many places
that send representatives to Sankofa. It might even
mean setting up "youth mission bands" with local
youth preachers, poets, artists, musicians, clowns, etc.
that can offer quality retreat experiences for young
black Catholics in our dioceses.
Youth ages 8 - 18 enjoy lifting up their hands in praise
when gathered together to fellowship and praise the
Lord with their peers. They praise and worship the
Lord through song, dance, bible study reflections, and
dialogue on how to walk with Christ daily in a world
filled with peer pressure.
The Sankofa Youth, Young Adult, and Family Summits
are held annually. The 2009 Sankofa Summit will be
June 25 - 28, 2009 in Queens, New York. It's a good
fun time for all attendees.
