A gratitude musical concert to say ‘Thanks be to God!’ was the inaugural Deo Gratias Concert precisely about young people giving thanks to God and expressing their gratitude for all his blessings in a musical and artistic form. Hosted by the Ignite Youth Choir, whose members are drawn from various parishes and from Magis Zimbabwe Network, the concert attracted a huge crowd who were treated to a variety of voices and instruments representative of worship and praise songs.
As reported by Vatican news, Jesuit Youth Ministry delegate, Fr Ignatius Padya SJ expressed his gratitude for the committed youths who desire to evangelise and celebrate their talents through art. “Our Concert was a success in the sense that we managed to bring something very unique on stage. It was a night of music and arts. I am happy that we managed to pull through despite challenges we faced,” he said.
The evening’s guest of honour, Zimbabwe’s Minister of Tourism and Hospitality Industry, Priscah Mupfumira, applauded Magis Zimbabwe for organizing the Concert. The audience enjoyed the joyous and prayerful performances from the hosts, the Ignite Youth Choir and music by other choirs that serenaded the audience.
