HARMONY AND SYNERGIES BETWEEN STRATEGIC PLAN AND CONTINUING FORMATION

(see Strategic Plan Documentation 2017-2022, November 2018 Assembly)

To be holy does not require being a bishop, a priest or a religious. We are frequently tempted to think that holiness is only for those who can withdraw from ordinary affairs to spend much time in prayer. That is not the case. We are all called to be holy by living our lives with love and by bearing witness to love in everything we do, wherever we find ourselves.

Pope Francis, Gaudete et exsultate, §14
