Vatican international congress on pastoral care
Overview
The Dicastery for Culture and Education organized the International Congress for Pastoral Care in Schools and Universities on October 22-23, 2026, at the Vatican. The event, themed ‘Drawing New Maps of Hope,’ brought together approximately 1,000 to 1,200 participants from over 60 countries, including educators and researchers.
Discussions centered on three primary pillars: cultivating interiority, addressing the human dimension of the digital world, and education for peace. During the ‘Human Digital’ session, Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe highlighted the necessity of acute attention to others in an age of artificial intelligence and digital distraction.
The congress included roundtables and an audience with Pope Leo XIV. The Pope addressed the pressures and fears faced by young people, encouraging educators to create welcoming environments that respect individual aspirations.
