IPDC Joins Jubilee of Hope in Rome

The Instituto Profissional de Canossa (IPDC) joined the canossian global youth in celebrating Jubilee of Hope, a global celebration for youth taking place in Rome. Representing Timor-Leste, the delegation is composed of six pilgrims, three of whom are members of IPDC:

• Hortalívio de Araújo (GA, Semester V, IPDC)
• Crescência Xavier (TCI, Semester V, IPDC)
• Ezequel dos Santos, teacher at Canossa Secondary School Manleu and IPDC Alumni (TCI 2024)
• Fábia Jela Soares, representative of the Bakhita Group of Becora
• Sr. Maria Helena, FdCC
• Sr. Teresinha Mota, FdCC

As part of this significant moment, the young Canossians will also join the Jubilee of Canossian Youth, an international gathering that will bring together 37 Sisters and delegations from 15 countries, scheduled from July 25 to August 13, 2025.

This pilgrimage represents a vibrant expression of shared faith, intercultural dialogue, and living testimony of the Canossian charism, nurtured within the global community that unites us. The Canossa School wishes its representatives a profoundly meaningful experience, enriched by spirituality, fraternity, and a steadfast commitment to the values that sustain our educational mission.

May this journey to the Eternal City strengthen their faith and inspire each participant to continue cultivating a heart educated to serve. With prayers and gratitude, we wish them a safe and fruitful pilgrimage.
