Los Teques, Venezuela. From March 6 to 8, 2026, the Claret Center in Los Teques hosted a gathering of local leaders of the Claretian Youth and Vocation Ministry (YVM) in the Venezuela region. Seven Claretian missionaries and 21 young leaders, together with the ANCLA Movement, met to review, share, and project a more integrated youth ministry, in harmony with the Apostolate Prefecture’s action plan.
The meeting enabled participants to define common criteria, identify challenges, and establish a pastoral plan with lines of action, roles, and objectives at local, zonal, and regional levels. A regional YVM team was also formed, and commitments were made in view of upcoming formation initiatives and participation in the National Youth Encounter (NYE) 2027, entrusting this process to the prayer of the entire province.
