On September 20, 2014, the BLD Newark Youth hosted its annual Battle of the Districts, inviting the Youth from BLD Districts Trenton, Rockland, and Camden to come and join in the fun and games for God’s glory! The different communities gathered together at eight o’clock on a Saturday morning for a breakfast and worship led by the newly anointed DYC: Anthony Lucero, Jules Almazar, Kyle Flores, Dana DeCastro, and Kristian Quevada.
The DYC worked together with God’s guidance to facilitate events throughout the day, including relay races, dodge ball, tug of war, basketball, volleyball, and charades in the form of Bible passages. The successful day came to a close with a mass celebrated by Fr. Robert and a praise jam. By the end of the day, the youth of the various districts were able to realize that we are not just different districts of BLD, but one community and one family with one purpose: to serve our Lord in any way we can, whether it be through worship, friendly competition, mass, or a praise jam.
