Under the theme “We Build and Spread Hospitality,” we held the 5th International Photography Contest 2026, an initiative organized as part of the feast of St. Benedict Menni, which invited the entire Hospitaller Family to express, through images, the richness of the charism and values that underpin our shared mission.

Throughout the contest, participants from our various provinces and delegations shared photographs that capture specific acts of care, connection, inclusion, commitment, and humanity, seeking to illustrate how hospitality is built and passed on every day within the diverse contexts of the Hospitaller Order.

Each photograph we received was a testament to our shared commitment to continue building a form of hospitality that cares for, accompanies, and transforms. We extend our special thanks to everyone who participated in this edition: collaborators, sisters, volunteers, those we serve, family members, lay hospital workers, and communities in the various countries where our Congregation is present.

May the example of Saint Benedict Menni continue to inspire us to live out and strengthen the shared mission of the Hospitaller Order, fostering and spreading hospitality in every act of care, encounter, and service.

Here are the winning photos from this fifth edition:
