Held on March 28–30 in the serene and spiritually rich town of Assisi, the L’ARCA Youth Camp brought together young Indian-origin Catholics from Italy for a profound experience of faith, fellowship, and heritage.

·        Spiritual sessions and classes on faith, discipleship, and living as young Catholics today.

Pilgrimage and Inspiration
Participants visited the Tomb of St. Francis of Assisi and the resting place of Blessed Carlo Acutis – two powerful examples of holiness, humility, and Eucharistic devotion.

Fellowship & Fun
The camp fostered community bonding through:

·        Team-building activities and games that promoted friendship.

·        Action songs and creative expressions celebrating faith.
