Remembering Pope Francis

May 6 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm

After the death of Pope Francis, the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life and the Office of Mission & Ministry at Georgetown University will bring people together to remember and reflect upon his faithful service, courageous leadership, and caring ministry. This dialogue will also explore his continuing impact and how Georgetown, the Catholic Church, our world, and all of us can continue to advance his message: mercy in the Church, justice in the economy, care for God’s creation, and peace in the world.

The mission and message of Pope Francis have been at the heart of the work of our Initiative since our founding in 2013. His challenging calls to encounter, engagement, discernment, and dialogue reflect the Jesuit values at the heart of Georgetown. As we mourn his passing, we thank God for his humble ways, strong words, and powerful example as our Holy Father.

In this dialogue, we bring together leaders from our Initiative, Georgetown, and beyond to remember Pope Francis, recall his leadership, and reflect on how we can live out Pope Francis’ calls to share the “Joy of the Gospel” and seek “a better kind of politics” that lifts up the poor and vulnerable and pursues the common good.

Rev. Mark Bosco, S.J., vice president for Mission & Ministry, will open this Dahlgren Dialogue. John Carr, founder of the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life, will moderate the dialogue.

Georgetown University’s Dahlgren Dialogues, co-sponsored by the Office of Mission & Ministry and the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life, are a series of substantive conversations with experienced leaders in the context of prayerful reflection on current topics at the intersection of faith and public life.​

Recording

The dialogue starting at 6:00 p.m. EDT will be recorded and posted online for later viewing.
