Youth & Vocation Promotion Ministry – Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting of the Youth and Vocation Promotion Ministry was held on 27–28 June 2026, bringing together 28 sisters for two days of formation, reflection, and planning.
The first day featured an inspiring session by Deacon Ivan on mentoring today's youth. He encouraged the sisters to listen deeply, understand the realities of young people, and accompany them with compassion and hope, sharing practical insights from his experience in youth ministry.
The second day began with a role play commemorating the 14th anniversary of the declaration of the Venerability of Mother Fernanda Riva. An interactive session led by Sr. Audrey, Provincial, invited the sisters to reflect on the expectations of today's youth through a dialogue with two young parishioners. Drawing on the theme "New Wine in New Wineskins," she encouraged the sisters to embrace new approaches to youth ministry while remaining rooted in Christ.
The meeting concluded with a review of the previous year's initiatives and the preparation of the action plan for the year ahead. The sisters returned to their communities renewed in their commitment to youth and vocation promotion.
