Lanezho is a small community with about 13-14 Catholic families. The youth numbering about 15 took a bold challenge to host the 3rd convention which turns out to be a massive success by the grace of our loving God. The community took vigorous parts in catering the needs of the youth during the entire course of 3-day-convention.
God Bless!
