Spiritan Mission Monthly

November 27, 2024 | A publication of the Spiritan Office for Mission Advancement

"Above all, let us not forget to thank: if we are bearers of gratitude, the world itself will become better, even if only a little bit, but that is enough to transmit a bit of hope. The world needs hope. And with gratitude, with this attitude of thanksgiving, we transmit a bit of hope. Everything is united and everything is connected, and each one can do their part wherever they are."

-Pope Francis, General Audience December 30, 2020

Happy Thanksgiving!

On Thanksgiving and every day, we are so thankful for your continued support and prayers. We pray you have a peaceful and wonderful holiday.
