A groundbreaking event at the Vatican opened doors for a large-scale youth Christian initiative that promises to transform the spiritual landscape of the old continent. On July 2, 2025, a group of young European activists officially presented the "Manifesto of Young Christians of Europe" during a special press conference in the heart of the Holy See.

The document, supported by the Vatican Press Service, sets ambitious goals for spiritual revival. The main concept includes a large-scale pilgrimage that will connect Rome and Jerusalem, symbolizing unity between different Christian communities.

The key messages of the manifesto emphasize solidarity, intergenerational cooperation, and the need for a new spiritual impulse. Representatives of the initiative highlighted the experimental nature of the project, which will be expanded by the end of the Jubilee Year 2025.

International support is already a fact - Catholic organizations from France, Germany, and Poland have expressed official interest in the ambitious program. This youth manifesto is emerging as a significant event in the contemporary spiritual life of Europe.
