Host Families for Taizé Youth

Taizé, the community known for their meditative chants, will be holding its International Youth Meeting in Hong Kong from Wednesday 8th to Sunday 12th August. The meeting is entitled Pilgrimage of Trust and Reconciliation. 

Young people from 18-35, sometimes in groups, will descend on Hong Kong from afar. They are coming for 5 days of praying with songs, workshops and a silent retreat. Every day in the morning, there will be meetings in churches of different denominations. The midday and evening prayers will be in either the Catholic Cathedral or St John's Cathedral (Anglican).

Taizé Hong Kong is looking for families to host these young people. Each person will bring a sleeping bag and all a family needs to offer is space and breakfast every morning. A bed is welcomed but not necessary. A host family may host one person, or more. The diocese is hoping that St Anne's can host 15 people.
