After an annual 10-day spiritual exercise at the Queen of Apostles’ Retreat House in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, I joined a local vocation meeting in Seoul. On the first day of the meeting, 14 of us who are involved in the vocation ministry in local communities shared our stories as well as the realities and situations of each area. On the morning of the second day, we listened to a special lecture on the practical method of dialogue in the Holy Spirit. The theme of the lecture was how to live the spirit of synodality in our daily life. We pondered practical ways to change and transform our ways of thinking and life patterns. In the afternoon, the preparation team presented youth program guides that can be used in local communities in each diocese. In between, we watched several video clips that helped us understand the characteristics of today’s youth, especially Generation Z. After sharing new programs that each of us planned for the year 2026, we prayed together. Living in a small local community, I just accepted the title of vocation manager for community programs.
