Welcome Participants—the Conference on Catholic Higher Education
Welcome! It is a joy to gather with you as we reflect on Pope Leo XIV’s invitation to Draw New Maps of Hope for Catholic higher education. Thank you for the wisdom, generosity, and faithful service you bring to the Church’s mission of teaching, learning, and forming hearts for lives of love and service. May our time together renew our hope, deepen our commitment to Christ, and inspire us to imagine new pathways of faith and possibility for the generations entrusted to our care.
