The Diocese of Calgary is launching Multiply the Hope, a Jubilee matching initiative that invests up to $12 million in local parish renewal. ​Even after the Jubilee Year concludes on December 28, 2025, this matching opportunity will continue through 2027, giving us additional time to reach our goal. During this three-year period, every dollar contributed to a parish’s Building Fund or Repairs & Maintenance Fund is matched by the Diocese, up to each parish’s designated goal.

This Sunday we celebrate the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome, the cathedral of the Pope and “mother and head of all churches in the world.” Built by Emperor Constantine in the fourth century, it was the first public church in Rome. This feast reminds us that every church building is a sign of the living Church and that each baptized person is a living stone in the temple of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray for the Pope, for unity in the Church, and for hearts renewed in faith.
