In a vibrant celebration of faith and vocation, the TAYVM-Luzon actively participated in the Vocation Festival of the first-ever Word Youth Summit that concluded on 17 January 2026 as part of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) Central Province’s celebration of its 150th founding anniversary at the Christ the King Mission Seminary in Quezon City.

The activities brought together youth leaders, students, and vocation promoters for prayer and fellowship. At the heart of the gathering was the Vocation Festival, where various religious congregations, associations, and groups had the opportunity to share their charisms and missions with young people.
The TAYVM - Luzon had its booth highlighting the mission and charism of the Teresian Association, emphasizing its commitment to the accompaniment of youth in discernment. All the participants were actively engaged through interactive sessions, prayer moments, and vocation-sharing conversations, fostering dialogue on how young people can generously respond to God’s call.

The celebration has been a dynamic platform for young people's engagement and vocation awareness. The Teresian Association affirms its commitment to continue praying for and accompanying young people in their journey of vocation discernment. In the spirit of Saint Pedro Poveda, the members emphasized that they remain only as God’s instruments - walking with the youth, listening with a heart, and trusting that it is God who calls, leads, and brings each vocation to its fullness.
