Walking with young people
Mission of the Youth Pastoral Commission
We reaffirm our preferential option for young people, as expressed by Joaquina in the founding letter of the Congregation:
“to embrace young people in my home“
From our origins we walk alongside them, especially those who live in situations of exclusion, exploitation or lack of meaning. In a complex and multicultural youth world, marked by the digital reality, we want to be present with closeness, listening and accompaniment. We believe that all young people have the right to be accompanied, and for this reason we constantly open the doors of our house to go out, welcome, understand and share with them the Good News.
We walk with young people in:
Province of Europe: Vedruna Vocational Youth Ministry
A way to share faith, grow in community and discover the meaning of life in the light of the Gospel. Spaces of encounter, prayer and commitment are proposed, where young people joyfully live their faith and proclaim it with hope in their daily environment.

Testimonials
The Youth Jubilee 2025 has been an experience I will never forget. First of all, we must thank God for all that we carry in our hearts, because we do everything for Him and for Him. We have lived so many moments of prayer, of encounter, of joy, of tiredness and of so many feelings that I cannot describe. To have been able to meet with Father Leo XIV was incredible. The moment of having him right in front of us in the Popemobile: that will never fade from our minds! Besides, living it with the Vedruna Family has made everything multiply by a thousand: to feel welcomed and united by the same feeling, in short, to FEEL FAMILY.
