The Taizé Community attempts to send pilgrims back from youth meetings to their local churches, to their parishes, groups or communities, to undertake, with many others, a “ Pilgrimage of Trust on Earth .” Every year around New Year ( usually from 28 December to 1 January ), a meeting in a large European city attracts several tens of thousands of young adults.

It is organized by brothers of the Taizé Community, sisters of St. Andrew, and young volunteers from all over Europe, and from the host city.

Brother Max Thurian ( Geneva ( Switzerland ), 16 August 1921-Geneva ( Switzerland ), 15 August 1996 ) was the subprior of the Taizé community, an ecumenical monastic community in France.

Materials from organisations with a strong ecumenical emphasis, such as the Iona Community and Taizé, are evidence of this.

The first international young adults meeting was organized in Taizé in 1966 with 1400 participants from 30 countries.

Taizé is also known as a place of pilgrimage primarily for young adults: every week, hundreds and thousands of visitors, generally between the ages of 17 and 30, visit Taizé for an experience of prayer and community life.

In September 1940, Roger purchased a small house that would eventually become the home of the Taizé community.

In 1969 a young Belgian doctor became the first Catholic brother to pledge his life to the community in Taizé.

In the 1960s young people began to visit the Taizé community.

Earlier Taizé community music was conceived and composed by Jacques Berthier.

In his " Unfinished Letter ", published after his death, Brother Roger is quoted to have proposed to " widen " the " Pilgrimage of Trust " originating from the Taizé community.
