As followers of Francis, how do we make peace where there is hurt and seek unity without erasing truth?
This is a space for prayerful listening, and open, trusting dialogue rooted in shared experience.
What to expect
A brief Gospel and JPIC framing
Shared reflection rooted in daily life
Respectful listening across differences
A spirit of fraternity and hope
What you do not need
No prework
No prior preparation
No special background
Just come as you are, with your story, your questions,
and your desire to live the Gospel more fully.
