POPE FRANCIS 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY


It was on March 13, 2015 that Cardinal Bergoglio was elected to the Peter's throne.  The following words, written by Pope Francis in the midst of the pandemic, remain relevant in these transformative times for Religious Congregations and for the Church.
"This is a moment to dream big, to rethink our priorities – what we value, what we want, what we seek – and re-plan our future, committing to act in our daily life on what we have dreamed of".
Let us dream, Pope Francis, December 2022.
