Together with the universal Church, we join in the commemoration of the 9th World Day of the Poor on Sunday, the 33rd in Ordinary Time, November 16 2025. In this Jubilee Year, the theme is “You are my hope.”
In his message for this Day, Pope Leo XIV invites us to recognize in those who live in poverty “witnesses of a strong and steadfast hope, precisely because they embody it amid uncertainty, poverty, instability, and marginalization.”

From the JPIC team of the Claretian Family, we invite you to join through the prayer prepared by the Cordimarian Missionary Sisters and through concrete actions; if we already have them in our missionary journey, let us remember that making visible and sharing the joy that these works bring us is always worthwhile.
Let us continue spreading that Fire which urges us to walk with others on the path of life.
