In a spirit of gratitude and enthusiasm, thisYear of the Bicentenary focuses on “our most precious treasures”: young people. Not simply as recipients of proposals, but as protagonists of a shared journey, capable of bringing life, enthusiasm, and a future to the charism of Charity.

It is from this attentive and trusting listening that new initiatives are born, the fruit of a collective effort, designed to create bonds, open spaces for encounter, nourish faith, and bring forth vocations of life and service, each according to their own calling.

Vocational Month, the International Youth Meeting, and the birth of the AJA Youth Movement are not isolated events, but stages of a single journey that invites us to dream together, to walk in diversity as a treasure, and to recognize in young people a force capable of renewing the Church and consecrated life.

For details on the initiatives planned for 2026, please see the letter from the International Office for Youth and Vocational Ministry. This letter is not only informative, but also full of passion, vision, and hope for the future.

Have a good journey! May Saint Jeanne Antide help us to walk tirelessly on the path that the Lord has laid out for us!
