A Pastorale Giovanile della Diocesi di Como initiative which brings together spirituality, conviviality and the lake experience in which every journey is a true educational initiative
There\u2019s a moment in young people\u2019s lives in which everything changes. 13-14 is a delicate and fascinating age, a boundary line between childhood and adolescence, in which young people start to make their own way, to look critically at themselves and their future. This is the age group that Molo 14, the Pastorale Giovanile della Diocesi di Como initiative, is for, a gathering of hundreds of pre-teens on the banks of the lake for a day of socialising, fun and growth. The heart of this Bellagio experience is the vocation theme – in the sense of the search for individual identity and a place in the world – which cuts through the whole day on 3 May, culminating in the Eucharist with the bishop and play and sharing experiences. But there\u2019s one thing which makes Molo 14 truly unique and which is a key part of the experience for many participants, the boat trip. The crucial, precious and generous support of Navigazione Laghi gives young people the chance to set off from Como-Cernobbio and Colico to Bellagio at the little port of San Giovanni.

\u201cIt\u2019s not just a logistical journey,\u201d explain Don Pietro Bianchi and Andrea Ballabio from Pastorale Giovanile Diocesana. \u201cThe lake journey is a full-blown educational experience, an opportunity for groups to meet up, get to know one another and open up.\u201d \u201cIn a social context in which rites of passage are rarer and rarer\u201d, says Cardinal Oscar Cantoni, Bishop of Como, \u201cinitiatives such as this are even more meaningful. They give young people a space in which they feel centre-stage players, and are welcomed and supported.\u201d The lake is both metaphor and travelling companion, then. It is often the – shared – journey – which makes the difference. \u201cAnd this is why,\u201d Pastorale Giovanile Diocesana di Como concludes, \u201cwe once again thank Navigazione Laghi, with no ulterior motive, for its help to hundreds of young people from all over our Como diocese, to enjoy an experience which will remain with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
