Bishop LeGatt - Christ's Hope in a Chaotic World

The striking political and economic instability in our world today could cause us significant anxiety and distress. This week, Archbishop Albert reflects on the importance of finding our rest and hope in the Lord, especially through intentionally fostering connections with those around us. Truly, in the face of the evil in our world, the love and support we show one another allow Christ’s love and hope to reign and shine His light, a remedy to our world’s pain.

Bishop LeGatt - Pilgrims of Hope

This month, Archbishop Albert reflects on the 2025 Jubilee Year, themed Pilgrims of Hope, while tying this theme back to our local Church in Saint-Boniface, but even more so to each of our individual lives. May we bring the promise of Christ’s hope to the deepest part of our hearts, and in all things say yes to him. Yes to his love, to his renewal, and to his hope.
