Jesus Youth Participates in Vatican Annual Meeting of Church Associations

The annual meeting with the moderators of Church associations was held at the Vatican on 21–22 May 2026, bringing together leaders of various Church movements and associations from across the world. As a movement officially recognized by the Holy See, Jesus Youth received an invitation to participate in this significant gathering, continuing its annual presence at the event.

Jesus Youth was represented by International Coordinator Dr. Midhun Paul and European Coordinator Anoop P. Varghese. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Serving, Accompanying, Guiding – Foundation and Practice of Governance in Associations.” The sessions focused on the principles and practical dimensions of leadership and governance within Church associations.

The meeting offered valuable discussions and enriching insights that are expected to strengthen and realign Jesus Youth’s missionary vision and service within the Catholic Church. The exchange of experiences and perspectives provided an important opportunity for reflection and growth in leadership and mission.

Jesus Youth expressed gratitude and appreciation to the organizers for creating this meaningful platform for dialogue, collaboration, and renewal among Church movements and associations worldwide.
