Youth Jubilee 2025 for ADW participants

An Invitation from Pope Francis to our Youth

When Pope Francis announced the Year of Jubilee as the Jubilee of Hope for 2025, he made a special and serious invitation to all the youth in the world. In his own words, Pope Francis spoke to the very heart of each one of us:

"At the end of the final Mass in the “Field of Grace” [on the occasion of WYD 2023 in Lisbon], I spoke of the next stage of our intercontinental pilgrimage: Seoul, Korea, in 2027. First, though, I invited you to Rome in 2025 for the Jubilee of Young People, where you too will be “Pilgrims of Hope."

"Dear young people, do not be afraid to share with others the hope and joy of the risen Christ! Nurture the spark that has been kindled in you, but at the same time share it. You will come to realize that it grows by being given away! We cannot keep our Christian hope to ourselves, like a warm feeling, because it is meant for everyone. Stay close in particular to your friends who may be smiling on the outside but are weeping within, for lack of hope. Do not let yourselves be infected by indifference and individualism. Remain open, like canals in which the hope of Jesus can flow and spread in all the areas where you live." (Message of His Holiness Pope Francis XXXVIII World Youth Day, 26 November 2023)

It is in this encouraging spirit of hope - that calls our youth to continue to "nurture the spark that has been kindled in [them]" that we dare to promote some fundraising initiatives so that several diverse youth from the DC area may participate in some way or another to this magnificent Jubilee Year of Hope and thus, in accordance to God's will, the Hope, Love, and Faith which comes from Him may enter in the lives of those who are far away from Him and His Church.
