During September, the Provinces of Santiago and Fátima held significant gatherings of youth and vocational ministry agents and leaders, reaffirming the Claretian commitment to the evangelisation of young people and vocational accompaniment.
Our Province of Fátima held its meeting from 26 to 28 September under the title Open Table, in Loja (Granada), with the participation of more than one hundred young people and pastoral agents. Guided by Fr José Enrique, CMF, the sessions were carried out using the “conversations in the Spirit” method, proper to the Synod on Synodality. In small groups, participants reflected and prayed on four central themes: young people, local pastoral ministry, vocation, and the role of being a youth pastoral agent. The gathering offered valuable communal discernment to help guide the path towards the forthcoming Provincial Chapter.
These meetings reflect a Church that goes forth, attentive to the reality of young people and eager to renew its missionary drive.
