This year, young people from all over the world will gather in Rome to celebrate a special occasion filled with faith, unity, and hope, the Jubilee – Pilgrims of Hope. This is a great opportunity to experience the vibrant diverse life of the Catholic Church, meet fellow pilgrims, and embark on a journey of spiritual renewal.
The Dicastery for Evangelisation, the organisers for the Jubilee in Rome next year are offering a number of packages which will cater for all your diverse needs.
The Jubilee of Young People will be held 28th July – 3rd August 2025 in Rome. Young people between the ages of 18 and 35 are being invited to Rome.
We invite you to be a part of these joyous celebrations together with other Maltese pilgrims.
If you’re looking for an opportunity to reconnect with your faith, meet other young Catholics, and immerse yourself in a dynamic, fun, spiritual atmosphere, then we invite you to join the Jubilee of Young people, part of the Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope celebrations in Rome.
This is more than a holiday with your friends—it’s a chance to grow, reflect, and be inspired to carry the message of the Gospel courageously. Throughout the experience you will have the opportunity to discover your faith, receive the sacrament of reconciliation, walk through one or more of the Holy doors, and other events such as concerts and gatherings, and the chance to see Pope Francis as the Jubilee Vigil in Tor Vergata.
Check out our range of packages below and find the one that suits your journey!
The official deadline for registration of Maltese pilgrims to the Jubilee of Young is
9th of March 2025.
MCYN is organising optional catechesis sessions during our time in Rome, and we’ve got something special lined up for you. These sessions will be walking tours, visiting chosen sites that reflect a common theme and historical importance in Jubilees. On these tours, we’ll explore cultural, historical, and religious themes connected to our Jubilee 2025 celebration in Rome, focusing particularly on hope and salvation in the cross.
You can join us for both tours or pick the one that interests you most. We’ll visit fascinating and significant pilgrimage sites, with moments for prayer, reflection, and insights into the concept of pilgrimage of hope in Jubilee Rome.
Tour 1: Echoes of the Martyrs – 30th July 2025
This tour focuses on saints and martyrs of the early church who emulated Christ in their suffering, highlighting the journey of hope from sacrifice to resurrection.
Tour 2: Rome’s Silent Witnesses – 31st July 2025
We’ll delve into the theme of hope and salvation in the cross, exploring Rome as the city of martyrs and pilgrims.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to deepen your faith and experience Rome’s rich heritage in a meaningful way.

Before booking we invite you to consider the following:
-
- MCYN will not be responsible for flight arrangements. Please note that the prices listed above do not include the cost of flights.
- Transport tickets in the packages do not apply for airport transfers.
- Minors and accompanying adults. Please remember that MCYN, and the Archdiocese of Malta, cannot be held responsible for any minors being taken to Rome. We are only facilitating the ticket purchases. Please be sure to collect the necessary consent forms, and make sure to have enough accompanying adults per minors. We strongly advise you to speak to the Safeguarding Commission to assess any concerns you may have prior to traveling. You can download the official Jubilee parental consent form; however, we do encourage you to create your own, just in case you should wish to add any other consents.
- Lodging mentioned in the packages is listed as parishes and gyms. This would mean that the teenagers and leaders will probably have to sleep on floors, therefore you would need to bring up your own sleeping bag and mats. Since you are responsible for your young people, please make sure that your minors are well protected and that your safeguarding protocols are adhered to. We also do not have any say on where your lodging will be, it could be close to the centre or on the outside of the city centre. You may also opt to find your own accommodation, if you intend to do so, we encourage you to look into this as soon as possible as prices are already going up.
- We do not know what the ‘10-euro food ticket’ mean. This will be communicated to us at a later stage. However, from past experiences it most probably is pre-prepared food packs from various distributors. However, do consider seeing whether you may need additional food throughout the day, and especially if you would need to cater for any intolerances. Based on past experiences, the places who used to provide food for people with intolerances end up being further away from the areas you may be staying at. Consider this factor when preparing your final costings.
The official deadline for registration of Maltese pilgrims to the Jubilee of Young is
