“We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision.”
– Pope Francis on Pilgrims of Hope, Jubilee Year 2025

What the Church can learn from its exile to the margins
“(We are called to be)
pathfinders who venture into the untrodden.
We are not settlers but pilgrims;
not guardians of status quo
but explorers of what is possible.”
– Bishop Vincent Long, Congregational Forum 2022
