About 120,000 young people from the Neocatechumenal Way participated in a gathering on Aug. 4, the feast day of the Curé of Ars, to consider what their vocation in life might be.
In attendance were Kiko Argüello, one of the apostolate’s initiators, and two other members of the organization’s international team: Maria Ascensión and Father Mario Pezzi.
The meeting, held at Tor Vergata — the same place where Pope Leo XIV presided over the vigil and celebrated the closing Mass of the Jubilee of Youth with more than a million souls Aug. 3 — was presided over by Italian Cardinal Baldassare Reina, the pope’s vicar for the Diocese of Rome. Also present were five other cardinals and some 30 bishops.
According to the Neocatechumenal Way website, the meeting took place in an atmosphere of celebration and communion, with young people from some 50 countries in Europe, 30 countries in the Americas, 11 countries in Africa, and 20 countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania.
