Celebrating 10 Years of Pope Francis: His Impact on the World

On March 13, 2013, Pope Francis was elected as the new head of the Catholic Church. This marked a historic moment in the Church’s history, and over the last ten years, Pope Francis has traveled the world, advocating for the poor, challenging injustices, and promoting interreligious dialogue. In this video, we explore the impact of Pope Francis’s papacy and his contributions to the Church, including his efforts towards reforming the Curia and integrating the principle of synodality. Join us as we celebrate ten years of Pope Francis’s leadership and reflect on his legacy.
