Around 80 APJ leaders and animators from across the Claretian Province of Fátima gathered for the Start-of-Year Meeting. Under the motto “We Are Network, We Are City”, the gathering provided a space for formation, fellowship, and prayer to prepare for the upcoming pastoral year.
This year, the main formation focus was a major workshop on discerning Artificial Intelligence, addressing its challenges and opportunities from a pastoral perspective.
The conceptual and theological framework of the meeting was guided by the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, which served as the reference text for collective reflection.
Beyond the training sessions, the gathering once again proved to be a fundamental pillar in strengthening the community identity of the Province. Through shared moments of prayer and the exchange of experiences, the various local teams renewed their bonds, aiming to consolidate a well-networked Youth and Vocations Ministry.
