Rev. Fr. Christopher Madurawala , throughout his service years in the kadalana parish had a dream of forming a club
that was energetic , creative and youthfull in its own right to enhance the usefullness towards the catholic society in
SriLanka , which at that time was lacking for what was a very formidable parish.
Rev. Fr. Christopher Madurawala 's dream finally came to reality when a bunch of young hopefuls namely Ishara Perera ,
Lakshani Mendis, Praneeth Silva, Sanara Krishani met him with the interest of forming a club which they wanted to be a part
of the church.Parish priest was quick to react and attached the club to deanary , made it a part of the world catholic community.
The newly formed club was given baptism as the "YOUTH" in their first meeting which was held on 25th October 2005,
Mr. Shaveendra Fernando was elected as the president , Ms Shamila Fernando and Mr. Ishara Perera was nominated as Secretary
& Treasurer respectively who were blessed to be seated with very calm and collected personnel like Ayesh Fernando , Mangala
Mendis and Lakshani Mendis
From the very first meeting itself we were able to increase our count to nine members, from which five members still remain with
us to date , helping our club to thrive through their wealth of experience and knowledge.
