The Vocations Congress "For Whom Am I? Assembly of the Called for the Mission" was held from February 7 to 9, 2025, at the Madrid-Arena pavilion in Casa de Campo, Madrid.
Organized by the Spanish Episcopal Conference, the event brought together more than 3,000 participants from Spain’s 70 dioceses, including 65 bishops, members of 54 lay movements and associations, and representatives of 120 religious congregations, including our Congregation of the Sacred Hearts. Notably, 30% of the attendees were young people under the age of 35.
The congress was structured around four thematic itineraries: Word, Community, Subject, and Mission, aiming to deepen the Christian vocation and its role in today’s society. The event featured lectures, workshops, and moments of prayer, including a vigil and a concert with groups such as Hakuna Group Music.
Pope Francis sent a special message encouraging participants to joyfully live their vocation and to be ambassadors of God's love in the world.
The congress concluded with a closing Eucharist, calling all faithful to recognize and respond to the divine call in their lives and to promote a vocational culture within their communities.
