Pope Francis Speaks - A Series of Days of Reflection with Fr. Doug and Matt Rousso
A series of Days of Reflection viewing videos by Pope Francis and/or about documents he has written during his Papacy since March 2013. We will view the videos of some of the more important writings of his, followed by a Conversation in the Spirit. Though it is highly recommended, one does not have to attend every session to benefit from the program.
Session #7: Tuesday, April 22, 2025
Theme: 2018: “Welcoming, Protecting, Promoting And Integrating Migrants And Refugees” (3:35 min) The Church has celebrated the World Day of Migrants and Refugees each year since 1914. This is an occasion for the Church and people of faith to reflect upon the role migration has played in our tradition, express concern for migrants, refugees, and people on the move, and build awareness about the challenges and opportunities migration presents. For 2018, Pope Francis has written about welcoming, protecting, promoting and integrating migrants and refugees. The Pope’s 3-minute video, with subtitles in each language, explains our basic response to migrants, asylum seekers, refugees and the displaced.
Registration: Our day will begin with gathering at 8:30am and end at 3:00pm; it will include Mass and lunch. Because of a generous donor, the cost will be only $15 rather than the usual $35.
