Hello and a very warm welcome to Pope Leo XIV from an Augustinian, a Jesuit and a Presbyterian; thank you to Pope Francis and his legacy of mercy, integral ecology and social fraternity. Sincere and heartfelt thanks also to those stalwarts of The Messenger magazine– our Promoters, without whom our beloved magazine would probably not exist! Interesting analogies between sport and Christianity; the education initiatives and projects run by the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) in South Sudan; and, in praise of Sr Stan: indefatigable champion of the homeless and immigrants. You won’t want to miss the August Messenger, out now!
