Reflections on life, meaning and purpose

‘Embracing the divine gift of freedom’ is theme of US bishops’ Religious Freedom Week (USCCB)

Religious Freedom Week begins on June 22 (the memorial of Saints Thomas More and John Fisher) and concludes on June 29 (the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul). From 2012 to 2017, a similar initiative (the Fortnight for Freedom) lasted from June 22 to July 4.

Each day of the 2023 Religious Freedom Week has a different emphasis: respect for sacred spaces, the seal of Confession, Nicaragua, religious student groups, Nigeria, faith at work, services for immigrants and refugees, and Catholic healthcare.
