2025: A year of adventure

2025 promises to be an “annus mirabilis” in the life of the Church. With a global Jubilee, the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’ and of Laudato Si’ Movement, the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Creatures, and a momentous UN conference on climate change, this is a year for change.
