In October, CONFER organized a meeting in Madrid for vocation workers on the theme: Who Should Carry Out Pastoral Work for Vocations? The FSPs took an active part in this event not only through their participation in the conferences but also through a large display of books, CDs and DVDs in the areas of spirituality, the religious life, vocations, catechesis and testimonials.
The effort to discover new ways of reaching contemporary youth resulted in a consensus to pursue the following lines of action:
• to try to involve young people themselves in the work of evangelizing their peers;
• to help vocation animators develop the ability to listen to young people and offer them the witness of how happy they are to have been called by the Lord to serve him.
More than 800 people from all the dioceses of Spain participated in this event.
