Explore “Encounter” with Pope Francis & Pope Leo
Join fellow parishioners on a five-week journey of reflection and conversation!
This Lent, we will be reflecting on the apostolic exhortation, Dilexi te (“I have loved you”).
Begun by Pope Francis and completed by Pope Leo XIV, this brief document
invites us to reflect on the implication of God’s love for us in how we encounter
and respond to the needs of others in our world,
particularly those facing material and spiritual poverty.
Why is it right for Lent? Dilexi te will help us place our Lenten practices of
prayer, fasting and almsgiving in the context of recognizing the suffering Christ
amid the challenges, griefs and anguishes faced by others and our society.
Why is it right for our parish renewal journey? This series comes at an
opportune time in the life of our parish. As we move forward in our renewal
journey and await Bishop McClory’s guidance through the pastoral planning
process for our diocese, How do we look beyond ourselves to discover the
presence of Christ in others? How do we respond to God’s call
for all of us to move toward the common good?
Come join us, as we listen together to Pope Francis and Pope Leo’s words,
work together to strengthen our spiritual resolve, and pray together to hear
and follow God’s call into the future.
