On November 23, Fordham University hosted the Second Annual Conference Day for Consecrated Religious Sisters and Brothers, organized by the Archdiocese of New York’s Office of the Vicar for Religious.
Titled “Pilgrims of Hope,” the event brought together religious communities for a day of reflection, prayer, and fellowship. The day was a chance to reflect on the need for peace and to answer the call to be witnesses and prophets of hope and peace, particularly in view of the upcoming 2025 Jubilee Year.
Monsignor Luke Sweeney, S.T.L., is the dean of seminarians and professor of Catholic social teaching at St. Joseph's Seminary. We spoke with him about the next generation of priests, the upcoming comprehensive exams at the seminary, and how we can respect God's creation.
