Pope Francis calls each of us to be a tangible sign of hope for those in great need. Bishop Golka echoes this call, emphasizing that Jesus alone reveals the fullness of God’s mercy and the truth about humanity. He challenges us to step beyond our comfort zones, carrying Christ’s hope into modern society and making His presence known in the ordinary places of daily life. Throughout this year, the Herald will explore the many ways the faithful in our diocese are living out this mission.
