We are voice.
We are the road.
We are a living flame of hope.
Speak, Pilgrim! was born from the desire to show that World Youth Day goes far beyond the great celebrations: it is a meeting of hearts, cultures and dreams in God.
Inspired by the call of Pope Saint John Paul II — who called us to be “protagonists of a new world” —, we want to reveal the behind-the-scenes, the anonymous stories and the small miracles that sustain the greatness of the World Youth Day.
Every pilgrim, every volunteer, every silent gesture is part of the living fabric of WYD. And it is through these details that we tell the true story of the youth’s journey with the Church.
We are voice. We are road. We are living flame of hope.
Speak, Pilgrim! is your companion on this journey of faith and discovery.
"Dear young people, do not be afraid to be saints." — Saint John Paul II
Our mission is to be a bridge:
Bringing to hearts the hidden beauty of World Youth Day.
To show, with truth and joy, the behind the scenes, curiosities and challenges that make WYD one of the biggest meetings of faith in the world.
Inspire young people to realize that, even in simple steps, God writes great stories.
"Go, without fear, to serve!" — Pope Francis
In the steps of the journey.
On the path to holiness.
It's faith in motion.
It is love that walks.
It is the youth who respond:
"Here I am, Lord!"
Faith
We believe that the Journey is the work of the Holy Spirit and that each young person is called to be a sign of Christ in the world.
Happiness
We live the joy of the Gospel, as Pope Francis teaches us: “A Christian can never be sad!”
Communion
We are part of the great family of the Church, walking together, supported by fraternity and sharing.
Service
Inspired by the example of so many volunteers, we believe that serving is a privilege that transforms.
Authenticity
We tell stories as they are: real, human, touched by grace.
"Dear young people, you are the hope of the Church and of the world." — Pope Benedict XVI
