Over 20,000 Gather in Rome for Jubilee of Catechists | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The 26th major Jubilee event, the Jubilee of Catechists, concluded over the weekend in Rome, drawing over 20,000 catechists from 115 countries. The gathering celebrated the global mission of catechists—men and women committed to sharing the Gospel and nurturing faith in communities around the world. Pope Leo addressed the assembly: "When we teach the faith, we do not merely give instructions, but we place the word of life in hearts, so that it may bear the fruits of a good life." He also emphasized the foundational role of parents as the first catechists and the importance of faith formation beginning in the home. Catechists from around the world underscored the essential role they play, especially in increasingly secular societies, helping families and individuals encounter Christ.
