The Traditional Trócaire Lenten Campaign begins on Ash Wednesday.
This year's campaign centres around the story of a family and a small community from La Paz in Guatemala. Ilma and Julio have four children and depend on farming for their livelihood.
Learn more about them in the Trócaire Lenten Packs available in our churches.
Trocaire Lenten Campaign, 2025PILGRIMS OF HOPE
We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire; that is why I have chosen as the motto of the Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope.
This will indeed be the case if we are capable of recovering a sense of universal fraternity and refuse to turn a blind eye to the tragedy of rampant poverty that prevents millions of men, women, young people and children from living in a manner worthy of our human dignity. Here I think in particular of the many refugees forced to abandon their native lands. May the voices of the poor be heard throughout this time of preparation for the Jubilee, which is meant to restore access to the fruits of the earth to everyone.
