HOPE 2025 is a 4-day gathering in Rome in June 2025 that expects to gather around 300 sisters in-person and another 300 attending virtually from across the globe. Offered in 5 languages, it is a historic moment bringing the global sisterhood into a concrete reality. This gathering is designed for sisters under the age of 65 years old and the focus is networking and dialogue about how we are  leading into the future for religious life and the church. This is the 2nd HOPE gathering. The inaugural gathering was held in January 2024 in Chicago. With over 350 sisters gathered, there was a call to expand these gatherings to build the necessary bridges for our current and future realities.

For individuals and organizations who want to enable sisters to participate in this event.
