This storytelling challenge is a global initiative by the Society of Jesus, inspired by the Jubilee Year, which encourages everyone to reflect on our journey together as “Pilgrims of Hope”.
The Jubilee, a tradition dating back to biblical times, is a sacred year of grace and renewal, offering an opportunity for deeper spiritual reflection and acts of mercy. Pope Francis invites us to reflect on the Christian call to be “tangible signs of hope” in a world that often faces despair. The challenge reflects this message, encouraging people to share moments where they have found or given hope - whether through personal experiences, community efforts, or prayer.
Why share hope?
Hope is most powerful when shared. In difficult times - whether facing poverty, conflict, or everyday challenges - hope shines through in acts of compassion, courage, and solidarity. This campaign reflects the Ignatian call to “find God in all things” and inspires us to walk together as pilgrims of hope.
How to participate
Join the #OneHopeManyJourneys challenge by sharing your story of hope in a one-minute video. Submissions are open until 20 April 2025 and you can find guidance on how to submit your own video here.
For inspiration, you can explore stories of faith and action on our YouTube channel, including our Vocations video series which shows how Jesuits operate in their day-to-day roles. You can watch that series here.
