The first major event of the Jubilee of Hope that occurred last week highlighted both the significant challenges for Pope Francis during the forthcoming Holy Year but also the support, inspiration and empowerment he can draw on as the occupier of the Chair of Saint Peter in Rome, the bastion of the Roman Catholic Faith.

Dedicated to communicators, from 24-26 January the Jubilee for the World of Communications took place in Rome and at the Vatican, marking the first major Jubilee event of the 2025 Holy Year and a celebration for journalists and communicators around the world.
