With the theme “Connecting with Jesus, spreading the fire of hope”, the Vocational Youth Ministry Encounter – Summer 2025 is taking place from June 15 to 18 at the San Benito Menni Community in the province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau (Vietnam).
A hundred young people from 16 parishes come together with the desire to discover the living presence of the hospitable Jesus in their own lives. During these days, they share experiences, talk about their dreams and deepest desires, and get closer to the charism of hospitality that inspires the mission of the Sisters Hospitallers.
The gathering includes visits to the Thien Than center, where children with disabilities are lovingly welcomed and accompanied. There, the youth have the opportunity to witness firsthand the sisters’ service, marked by humanity, tenderness, and commitment.
These days of fellowship and reflection are also an opportunity to open their hearts to vocation, strengthen their faith, and ignite the desire to serve others through hospitality.
