The Vedruna Nuestra Señora del Carmen School in San Fernando will be the venue for the Diocesan Youth Encounter 2026, a significant event for young people aged 16 to 30, featuring the participation of the apostolic administrator of the diocese, Ramón Valdivia.

Scheduled for April 25, the event will commence at 5:00 PM. Bishop Ramón Valdivia will deliver an opening address, marking his first direct interaction with the young participants in this setting.
Following this, the Hermanitas del Cordero (Little Sisters of the Lamb), a consecrated life community known for their pilgrim lifestyle and dedication to the most vulnerable, will give a testimonial talk. Their approach emphasizes simplicity, prayer, and fraternal life, inspired by the figures of Saint Dominic and Saint Francis.

Their mission focuses on reaching out to the most needy and proclaiming the Gospel through simplicity, prayer, and fraternal life in small monasteries open to hospitality.

After the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue with the religious sisters and ask questions. Following a short break, rotating workshops will be held, exploring the three main vocations within the Church: missionary priesthood, marriage, and consecrated life.
The program will also include a period of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, offering a space for reflection and prayer. The Eucharist, presided over by the apostolic administrator, will be celebrated at 8:30 PM as the central moment of the encounter.
The day will conclude with a dinner, where a bar with popular prices will be available, with proceeds going to the needs of the Youth Delegation. The event will wrap up at 10:00 PM with a Prayer Vigil led by the Hermanitas del Cordero. Registrations for participation are open until April 17.
