Winners of the 2026 International Photography Contest announced

Through creativity and shared experiences, this year’s contest reflects the many ways in which hospitality is lived, seen and communicated across our communities

We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2026 International Photography Contest, held under the theme “We Build and Spread Hospitality”.

This initiative brought together participants from across our Congregation, offering a creative space to reflect and share how hospitality is lived and expressed in different realities around the world.

Through powerful and meaningful images, participants captured moments that reflect the essence of our mission: care, dignity, compassion and presence in everyday life.

The winners of this year’s contest are:

• First Place: Province of Spain
• Second Place: Province of Portugal
• Third Place: Province of Latin America

Each of these contributions highlights the richness and diversity of our Congregation, while expressing a shared commitment to building and spreading hospitality in every context.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the contest across the Congregation. In a special way, we thank all those from our English Delegation who participated and shared their perspective on hospitality through their images. Your contribution is a valuable expression of our mission.

Initiatives like this remind us that hospitality is not only expressed through care and service, but also through the way we see, share and communicate the life of our communities.

Together, we continue to convey and spread hospitality in every gesture, every encounter and every corner of the world.
