At a pivotal moment for the Catholic Church in Asia, the Great Pilgrimage of Hope is all set to bring together bishops, priests, religious, deacons and lay leaders from across the continent to the vibrant city of Penang to discern, discuss, celebrate, and chart the course for the future-truly a landmark event and a defining occasion for the Church.
Organised by FABC OE of the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences, the event will explore new paths, narratives, and dynamics that are rooted in our Catholic identity and resonate with Asia's rich cultural tapestry through collaborative dialogue and shared wisdom.
The Great Pilgrimage of Hope 2025 is organised by FABC OE, hosted by the Diocese of Penang, supported by PMS Asia, and in collaboration with the Bishops’ Conference of Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei.
The Great Pilgrimage of Hope welcomes Catholic delegates from across Asia through a structured selection process:
Bishops, Priests, Religious & Deacons
Lay Faithful
Ecclesial Movements
Youth Representatives
Women Leaders
Catholic Professionals
All participants must be nominated through their respective Catholic Bishops' Conference. This ensures balanced representation from each country and creates meaningful opportunities for dialogue across different sectors of the Church.

If you feel called to be part of this historic gathering, please contact your national Catholic Bishops' Conference. They will guide you through the nomination and registration process.
The GPH 2025 logo and promo video bring together the core ideas of the theme — hope, communion, and the radiant light of the Gospel—held together by a simple, memorable, and contemporary form and enlivened by the rich and vibrant colours of the Asian continent. The logo and identity were chosen from among a set of entries by talented designers from across different parts of Asia.
