Summer 2025The Vatican’s Year of Jubilee, themed Pilgrims of Hope, began this past Christmas Eve and continues until the celebration of Epiphany on Jan. 6, 2026. This tradition of celebrating a jubilee year traces its roots to the Jewish custom of observing a jubilee every 50 years, during which enslaved people and prisoners would be freed, debts forgiven and God’s mercy made manifest. -
Summer 2025Mission for This Moment
According to the evangelist and physician Luke, Jesus articulated his mission when he was filled with the Holy Spirit after fasting in the desert for 40 days and enduring the temptation to forsake love for fame, fortune and power. -
Summer 2025Catholic Thought Centers on Expansive Compassion, Human Dignity in Immigration Response
Questions over immigration policy are increasingly prominent and morally fraught across Western democracies. Concerns over border security and fears of an overwhelming influx of undocumented migrants and asylum seekers were major themes in the 2024 U.S. presidential election; they have now become a key focus for the Trump administration, which has controversially carried out mass deportations without due process. -
Summer 2025Building Connection and Community in Caring for Creation
Pilgrims are seekers drawn to make pilgrimages. Pilgrimages are journeys to special and holy places, places that draw forth from within us a deeper sense of connection and belonging to something greater than ourselves. -
Summer 2025Sponsors Set Steadying Course With Eye on the Horizon
Catholic health care has been blessed by the ministry of sponsorship. Sponsors have guided, nudged, accompanied, encouraged and, yes, sometimes redirected the ministry through many moments of "thick fog." We are tempted to believe the uncertainty of our time is unique, but the veterans among us remind us that low visibility and headwinds have always been part of our story. -
Summer 2025Walking Each Other Home Through Pilgrimage
There is a beautiful painting in warm, pastel colors by the artist Dorsey McHugh of seven figures we see only from behind. They are male and female, young and old. They walk with their arms across each other’s shoulders or clasp hands, all traveling in the same direction. The work is titled, "Walking Each Other Home." -

It’s so easy to cede our time and attention to everyday pressures, commitments and responsibilities. And while there is a lot of focus on the importance of building resilience and avoiding burnout in Catholic health care settings, Health Progress wanted to share some of the ways people attend to and strengthen their spiritual lives. -

In December 2023, more than 100,000 people in the U.S. affected by sickle cell disease received what was poised to be life-changing news: The first potentially curative gene therapies were officially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of sickle cell disease. -
Summer 2025Editor's Note — Summer 2025
Hope is active. It sounds passive, if you think about it in its dreamy sense — the feeling of wanting something to happen, or wishing for things to be different than they are. -
Summer 2025Mission — Together Along the Pilgrim Path
We live in a world where the pursuit of happiness is blurred by individualistic efforts to thrive, one where societal structures fail to inform or embody a communal vision of flourishing. It is difficult to envision a world where human potential is nurtured, affirmed and fulfilled — a place where infinite love shapes a shared reality. -
Summer 2025Community Benefit — Nonprofit Hospital Community Benefit: What Counts and Why It Matters
There is only one definition of community benefit: it is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) definition. Other organizations, researchers and lobbyists, at times, will add or subtract categories to the way they define community benefit... -
