Why You Should Join Our Club
Anyone who believes or hopes for world peace and unity amongst everyone should join Young for Unity.
The Young for Unity (Y4U) Club at Bishop Conaty Loretto High School (BCLHS), a local chapter of the International Teens for Unity Movement promotes unity in the world. To achieve this end, the club works and pursues activities to break down existing divisions, barriers, and prejudices in the family, in the school, among generations, and in the community. The Y4U’s visits to the children of Shriner’s hospital, various nursing homes around the school’s neighborhood, and tutoring students in the nearby elementary school are motivated by these goals. The Y4U also supports the international Schoolmates Project. Over these past years, we have been doing fundraisers to support various projects of the Schoolmates like helping the children in a poor area in the Dominican Republic to build their humble school, the kids of the Tsunami victims in Thailand, various children in South America, victims of AIDS in Uganda, and recently helped the victims of the last earthquake in Haiti.
In addition, Y4U collaborates with the Teens for Unity of Los Angeles to bring ahead the goals of “Let’s Color our City” and the Youth for a United World (Y4UW) to celebrate the World Unity Week (WUW), a worldwide week of activities and events that promote the building of unity on all levels. WUW takes place on the first week of May. During this week,Y4U at BCLHS, together with Campus Ministry organize various activities such as a moment of prayers and reflections for peace and unity participated by the entire school, and the “Art Contest for Unity”. Also, throughout the week the morning prayers are focused on unity and the students are then asked to live out concretely various practical ways of building unity.
