Come along to a Book Review and Discussion of ‘Hope’ by Pope Francis, held at the Maurice Fowler Hall of Ealing Abbey, on Saturday 21st June.
In January, Pope Francis published his autobiography. Originally, heintended it to be published after his death, but then decided to release it to coincide with the 2025 Jubiliee year of Hope.
This is the first time a sitting Pope has published ab autobiography. Pope Francis writes about his life, from growing up as a child of immigrant parents in Argentina to the challenges of his papacy. He discusses his personal passions for football and tango, his vocation, and his life in the Church. The Pope also writes about the problems of the modern world, including the conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East, the environmental crisis, and the future of the Church.
Pope Francis died three months after the publication of ‘Hope,’ making it a complete autobiography of his life.
HOPE is an independent group that meets to look at the signs of further progress in the Safeguarding in the Catholic Church. HOPE is hosting a Book Review and Discussion of ‘Hope’ by Pope Francis. All are welcome to come along for a friendly chat and share responses to the book.
After the discussion there will be a ‘bring-and-share’ lunch.
