How Can We Be Pilgrims of Hope in Catholic Health Care?
The 2025 theme, Pilgrims of Hope, encourages us to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with openness, trust, and renewed vision. As stewards of the Catholic Health Ministry, we know well the role hope can play in any healing journey. The invitation to consider pilgrimage may be new.
As a practice, pilgrimage invites us to consider different perspectives and engage in community. In solidarity, we step outside the confines of our silos and cross a border into another’s experience. As we continue to serve the ministry and respond to the signs of the times, it is more important than ever for Catholic health care to speak with a unified voice rooted in our faith and belief that every person deserves dignity and access to quality, affordable care.
CHA is pleased to offer a collection of resources that may be useful as you commemorate the Jubilee Year and invite others to be Pilgrims of Hope in your own ministries.
