Jubilee Year 2025: A Review

During the Jubilee Year 2025, many of our international Congregation’s Sisters and staff traveled the world as “pilgrims of hope.” In Rome, they attended papal audiences (some with Pope Francis, others with Pope Leo XIV.) and passed through the Holy Doors; they made pilgrimages to various spiritual places in Rome, Subiaco, and Assisi, for example, as well as in Malta, China, and their respective home countries.

At the Generalate, we have selected some of the impressions and moving moments of these international pilgrimages and compiled them in a video that we would like to share with you at the end of this Jubilee Year. All the pilgrims shown here always carried in their hearts all those Sisters of our international Congregation who were unable to make the journey themselves.

The film is presented by General Councilor Sister M. Hiltrud Vacker, Claudia Berghorn (International Communication at the Generalate), and Dr. Ulrike Teßarek (Value Management at the St. Francis Foundation), who traveled to Rome together in June 2025.

All the Sisters and staff at the Generalate wish you a peaceful and blessed New Year! May God bless and protect you and all those who are dear to you.

PACE E BENE!
