Pope Leo XIV paid a private visit on August 19 to the Shrine of Our Lady of Mentorella, also known as the Mother of Graces, near Rome, highlighting once again his deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In a powerful Angelus address at Saint Peter’s Square on July 6, Pope Leo XIV reignited the Church’s missionary zeal, urging the faithful to become “joyful laborers in God’s harvest” amid a world longing for meaning, justice, and salvation.
One group in the Philippines has taken on this noble task of spreading devotion and contributing to the Church’s efforts of new evangelization through a more visual approach – the Kapatid Ecclesiastical Photographers.
