As a response to this invitation the Office for Ministry with Young Adults (OMYA) is overjoyed to bring to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, The Well: Young Adult Conference! The theme for the 2025 Conference was given to us by the Holy Father! Theme: “Take courage! I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33). The scripture passage of the Samaritan woman meeting Jesus at the well embodies this theme of COURAGE! Similar to the Samaritan woman, we are thirsty to find our belonging and identity in Christ. As we are nourished by the words of Christ that teach us everything about ourselves, we are more fully emboldened to have COURAGE in sharing the good news. Like the woman at the well, our hearts cannot help but leave our water jars and run with COURAGE to tell everyone of our encounter with Christ. In service, we share courageously, “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” (John 4:29)

Cada año, el papa convoca a la Iglesia de todo el mundo a celebrar a los jóvenes y adultos jóvenes. En respuesta a esta invitación, la Oficina para el Ministerio con Adultos Jóvenes (OMYA) se complace en traer a la Arquidiócesis de Filadelfia, La Fuente: ¡Conferencia para adultos jóvenes! ¡El tema de la conferencia 2026 nos fue dado por el Santo Padre! Tema: «¡Tengan valor! Yo he vencido al mundo.» (Jn. 16, 33). El pasaje de las escrituras en el que la mujer samaritana se encuentra con Jesús en el pozo encarna este tema del VALOR. Al igual que la mujer samaritana, estamos sedientos de encontrar nuestro lugar e identidad en Cristo. Al nutrirnos de las palabras de Cristo, que nos enseñan todo sobre nosotros mismos, estamos más preparados para compartir el evangelio con valor. Al igual que la mujer en el pozo, nuestros corazones no pueden evitar dejar nuestros jarrones de agua y correr con valor a contar a todos nuestro testimonio del encuentro con Cristo. En el servicio con valor, compartimos y damos testimonio: «¡Vengan a ver a un hombre que me ha dicho todo lo que he hecho! ¿No será él el Mesías?» (Jn. 4, 29).
