The 2026 Advent calendar from Caritas Secours: red cover with a line drawing of an Advent wreath.

Every day, a page that makes room for the most vulnerable.

For the first time, the five French-speaking dioceses and vicariates are together putting the spotlight on the associations working on the ground. On every page:

  1. 1
    A line from the Gospel of the daywith a line drawing for children to colour in.
  2. 2
    A word of hopefrom someone who has lived through poverty, quoted as spoken.
  3. 3
    An extract from Dilexi tePope Leo XIV’s call to serve the poorest.
  4. 4
    A partner project near youwith a QR code so you can go and meet them.

Designed for parishes, catechesis, chaplaincies, discussion groups, hospital visitors and care homes: wherever one page a day can open a conversation.

On every page, next to the Gospel and the Pope’s text, with equal weight:
the voice of someone we almost never hear.

“He says: I am here to support you.”

“When I come here, I talk with the people we welcome and tell them: I’ve been through what you’ve been through.”

Words gathered from the Fratelli tutti groups, translated from French.
