On August 21, 2026, we had the opportunity to participate in the Vocation Jamboree at Good Shepherd Cathedral in Novaliches.<\/strong> Sr. Nelly and I were happy to meet and share with the altar servers both men and women from the different parishes of the Diocese of Novaliches. Through our simple booth, we introduced our Congregation, shared our mission and charism, and gave brochures, stampitas, and inspiring words from our Foundress, St. Joaquina de Vedruna. It was heartwarming to see some of the young people touched and inspired by her message.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, August 23, 2026, we were invited to participate in the Vocation Day of Immaculate Conception Parish-GSIS Village<\/strong>. Before the final blessing, we were given the opportunity to introduce our Congregation, our Foundress, St. Joaquina de Vedruna, and our mission and charism. It was a wonderful moment to share who we are and how we continue to serve God and His people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, they gathered some youth in the Parish and Sr. Elma gave a talk on the four states of life: single life, married life, consecrated\/religious life and priesthood.  We were also blessed to share our own vocation stories, how we are called by God in this kind of life. We are hoping to inspire the young people to prayerfully discern God\u2019s call in their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that every encounter is an opportunity to plant a seed of vocation. We may not know where this seed will lead, but we trust that God will make it grow in His own time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

May some of the young women we meet hear God\u2019s call and courageously say \u201cYes\u201d to follow Him as a Vedruna.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
