In 2024, the Church will celebrate the fifth anniversary of the publication of the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation .

This project, available in several languages, can also be adopted by local Church bodies that want to transmit, in their own milieu, a spiritual reflection that reaches young people through social media networks.
