In a time of profound social and political division, the Church is called to endure with steadfast faith, focused on the ultimate goal: the joy of Jesus. This joy is reflected in lives transformed by the gospel and a community united through reconciliation.

Together, we will confront division and seek to build a unified, Gospel-centered movement that reflects the heart of Christ. With a blend of reflection, learning, and practical engagement, this event aims to empower the Church to lead the charge in racial unity and redemptive action.
