"The future of the Church's mission in healthcare in the United States of America also depends upon your union with Christ and with one another. As long as you remain united to him, sharing in his life and motivated by the love in his heart, there is no doubt that you can continue to bear abundant fruit through caring for the sick and suffering."
— Pope Leo XIV's message on May 18, 2026, to Catholic Health Assembly attendees
