JWALA 2025, the Regional Youth Fest was held at Srikakulam from 11–14 December, 2025. It brought together young people from across the Telugu region for days of faith formation, fellowship, and leadership building.
The atmosphere was one of joyful worship, deep sharing, and renewed commitment to serve the Church.
A major highlight was the Regional Youth Elections, conducted smoothly and transparently in the presence of Most Rev.
