In presenting this annual report and informing you about the use of the funds entrusted to us, we act as true “Pilgrims of Hope,” in keeping with the motto of the Jubilee Year 2025.

In the midst of great hardship, this past year we encountered an incredible variety of examples of authentic Christian charity, and often also of heroic love of God and neighbor, whether in the escalating conflict in the Middle East, in the devastating war in Ukraine – now three years old – in Haiti – a country plunged into chaos and anarchy – or in African countries where jihadist violence is spreading and causing the expulsion, suffering and misery of the population.

With the prayers and donations of our benefactors, who also opened their hearts in 2024, we were able to offer help last year in more than 130 countries through more than 5,000 projects, and spread the light of hope with the fraternal embrace of the entire Church community.

The events taking place in the world and the dedication of many good people allow us to understand how good and evil, light and darkness, are in an intensifying struggle with each other. In this confrontation we must jointly direct our hope-filled prayers to God, the origin and giver of all good, light and life.

May Almighty God bless all those who contribute to making this organization a living expression of divine love and grace. I commend you all and your families to the intercession of the Most Sacred Mother of God, who is also our mother.

From you,
