Guess what! On July 28–29, 2025, Rome is throwing a party like no other: the first-ever Jubilee for digital missionaries and Catholic influencers! Hosted by the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication, this hybrid celebration will bring together nearly 1,000 online evangelists in person—and countless more connecting virtually—for a time of prayer, formation, and discovering how our faith fits into the digital world (see Vatican News [1]).

Why this matters

This event isn’t just for show—it’s a nod to the idea that yes, the internet is a real mission field. Think of it as a spiritual recognition that Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, blogs—they matter. If we’re sharing the Gospel online, that counts. And the Vatican is officially saying so: digital spaces are prime territory for “samaritaning” people with God’s love online .

A multilingual hymn for unity

They’ve even gone all out musically. The official Jubilee hymn, titled “Todos” (“All” or “Everyone”), is a beautiful multilingual collaboration. Featuring Catholic artists from around the world—Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, English, and Portuguese—the song reflects Pope Francis’s core message from World Youth Day Lisbon 2023: “In the Church, there is room for everyone, everyone, everyone!” It’s all about inclusion, synodality, and mission.

What to expect

  • Hybrid participation: 1,000 influencers gather in Rome, backed by live online streaming.
  • Spiritual toolkit: Ahead of time, a spiritual guide will be downloadable to support personal reflection.
  • Shareable assets: A suite of graphics and promotional materials to spread the message—both in person and digitally.

Why you should tune in

If you’ve ever poured hours into crafting a meaningful faith post, filmed a prayer video, launched a spiritual podcast, or managed a faith-based TikTok, this event is a nod to your gift. It reinforces that utilizing digital platforms to spread the Gospel is not only valid it’s vital. And if you’re passionate about this, the live broadcasts will be a vibrant way to connect with others walking the same path.

Final thoughts

This Jubilee isn’t just about community, it’s about legitimacy. It’s saying: “Your online witness, your creative touch, your voice matters.” In a world teeming with digital noise, this move by the Vatican is beautifully timely.
