Jubilee

More than 4,000 people set out on a walk from Saint Joseph's Oratory to Mary Queen of the World Cathedral as part of a unique jubilee event: the Day of the Holy Spirit and the 2025 Palm Sunday Walk.

This pilgrimage, vibrant with faith, joy, and unity, was entirely carried out by young people: 325 volunteers came together to create a memorable experience of service, hospitality, entertainment, security, logistics, and prayer.

Designed by young people for young people, this event is a true school of missionary leadership. Every commitment—whether discreet or visible—wove a living testimony of a young, committed, and missionary Church.

A memorable day... and a viral one!

The impact of this day went beyond the streets of Montreal: videos and images of the march generated more than 300,000 views on social media, testifying to the power of a message of hope embodied by young people.
