\u201cWalking Together\u201d tells a true story shaped by faith and service. It is the first documentary about a family from Youth and Missionary Family (JyFM), and it premiered to heartfelt emotion at the Graduate Studies Center auditorium of An\u00e1huac University Mexico, North Campus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Francisco Vargas<\/strong>, the project offers an intimate and authentic glimpse into the life of the Navarrete Correa family<\/strong>, who take part in the Holy Week Megamissions<\/strong>, facing everyday challenges with faith and generosity. The camera captures not only the moments of mission, but also the deeper meaning of being a missionary family<\/strong>: to love, to serve, and to bear witness to the Gospel through simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New Narrative Language Inspired by the Gospel<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The documentary was inspired by Pope Francis\u2019<\/strong> message for the 59th World Communications Day<\/strong>, in which he encourages us to \u201ctell stories that sow hope and embrace pain with love.\u201d In this spirit, Walking Together<\/em> does more than tell a story: it embodies a form of evangelization through art and storytelling<\/strong>, rooted in ordinary life transformed by faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis story touches the soul because it shows what often goes unseen: the love with which a family responds to God\u2019s call to serve in remote communities,\u201d said Brenda Trevi\u00f1o<\/strong>, director of JyFM, during her welcome speech at the premiere.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

More Than a Journey: A School of Humanity<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The film follows the preparation, sending, and return<\/strong> of the missionary family, showing how the experience transforms not only those who receive the mission, but also those who live it. Through simple gestures and mutual self-giving, Walking Together<\/em> becomes a testimony that faith is transmitted above all through life itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The premiere was attended by missionaries, members of Regnum Christi<\/strong>, consecrated families, and institutional representatives such as Perla Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong> and Guillermo Campillo<\/strong> from the Territorial Directive College for Mexico and Central America<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Reflection of Many Families in the Church<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

For Fr. Emilio D\u00edaz-Torre, L.C.<\/strong>, this documentary goes beyond a personal experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Walking Together<\/em> reflects many families who continue to go forth to proclaim the Gospel today. As Pope Leo XIV<\/strong> said: we are called to be fishers of families<\/em>. And what better way than by being a missionary family?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With an emotional and relatable narrative, this production does more than document an event: it inspires us to live the faith as a family<\/strong>, in the ordinary, with a missionary horizon. A true tool of hope for our time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
