Pope Leo XIV, Message for the 2026 World Day of Communications

Catholic Mission invites you and your community to respond to Pope Leo XIV's call to reach further, share the Good News, and bear witness to God's love.

In today's world, it is easy to get lost in the constant flow of information. But what if you used your social media to share hope and inspire others to take small actions that make a difference?

That is why Catholic Mission has created this unique youth brand ambassador program, empowering young people like you to inspire others through everyday acts of faith in action. Mission is not always about travelling far. Sometimes it begins with a conversation, a post, a shared story, or a simple act of kindness.

Today, we invite you to ask yourself: What message do I want to share?

Ways you can get involved today:

  • Share on your social media channels a good action you did today and invite others to reflect on their own. Let us know by tagging #CatholicMission and #YouthInAction.
  • Reshare content from Catholic Mission channels, helping stories of hope and mission reach further.
  • Get inspired by our collective reels library on Instagram, created by young people and the Comms Team to amplify messages that matter.
  • Come and say hello at Catholic youth events and festivals. Let your network know you’re joining us by tagging Catholic Mission. We’ll keep you updated on upcoming events and opportunities.
  • Take part in our monthly challenge. Each month, we share on our socials a new content challenge exploring how Catholic Social Teaching can be lived in everyday life, inspiring others through practical actions and reflection.
