Annual Meeting with Moderators of Ecclesial Communities 2025

Annual Meeting with Moderators of International Associations of the Faithful, Ecclesial Movements and New Communities

New Synod Hall, 4-6 June 2025

Evangelization and formation in the light of Christian hope: these will be the topics for reflection explored by nearly 250 participants, moderators, and representatives from 115 associations recognized by the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life, during their Annual Meeting, which will take place from 4 to 6 June in the New Synod Hall, Vatican City.

This year, the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life once again invites Moderators from International Associations of the Faithful, Ecclesial Movements, and New Communities to come together and share their experiences, difficulties, and future projects. Specifically, the theme proposed for this Jubilee Year aims to bring everyone together to rethink the evangelizing mission they were entrusted with in today’s world, as well as the formation activity in the spirit of “hope does not disappoint” (Spes non confundit), to rediscover hope within the mission and form people “of hope”.
