“Looking to the future with hope also entails having enthusiasm for life and a readiness to share it. Sadly, in many situations this is lacking. A first effect of this is the loss of the desire to transmit life. A number of countries are experiencing an alarming decline in the birthrate as a result of today’s frenetic pace, fears about the future, the lack of job security and adequate social policies, and social models whose agenda is dictated by the quest for profit rather than concern for relationships” (Spes Non Confundit, n. 9).
All are welcome to attend the third Jubilee Year Pilgrims of Hope Retreat on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Saint Matthew Church, Gillette, beginning at 9 am, and closing with 5 pm Mass. For more information and to RSVP, go to: https://dcwy.org/jubilee2025-pilgrimsofhope
