Building Strong Bonds
The Nuncio commended the priests for fostering strong bonds of fraternity and unity, encouraging them to support each other through challenging times.
The priests also committed to praying for the health and well-being of Pope Francis, seeking God’s protection and blessings for him as he leads the universal Church.
Nurturing Parish Communities
The priests pledged to collaborate with their Local Ordinaries in providing pastoral care to their parishes and communities, in accordance with the Church’s Code of Canon Law. They aim to ensure that their parish communities grow in faith and unity, following the pastor’s role as a spiritual leader and community facilitator.
Promoting Responsible Stewardship
