Vincentians at the Jubilee of Youth 2025

August 5, 2025

 “For a Hope that Liberates.”

From July 28 to August 3, 2025, Rome became the epicentre of the Jubilee of Youth, an event that brought together thousands of young people from around the world to experience a week filled with faith, encounter, service, and hope.

Within this framework, the Vincentian Family jointly participated in this great ecclesial event under the motto: “For a Hope that Liberates.” It was a week marked by fraternity, prayer, formation, and missionary commitment, involving hundreds of youth from various branches of the Family, together with the Daughters of Charity and the Vincentian Fathers (Congregation of the Mission).

 

The program included Eucharistic celebrations, concerts – including the vocational concert with the participation of Sister Françoise Petit, Superior General of the Daughters of Charity, who shared a profound reflection with the youth – formation sessions, activities in language groups, testimonies, moments of silence and listening, as well as a great gathering at Tor Vergata with the presence of the Holy Father during the night vigil, which concluded on August 3 with an open‑air Eucharistic celebration presided over by him, attended by more than one million people.

 

An opportunity for young people, from their diverse charisms and ecclesial realities, to strengthen their faith, listen to the voice of the Lord, and courageously respond as missionary disciples in today’s world.
