PNAC Alumni Reunion in Rome During the Jubilee Year 2025

January 20–25, 2025

---

My fellow Alumni,

I hope you are getting excited about our upcoming Alumni Reunion in Rome this January 20-25, 2025! This is an opportunity to come together from different areas of service in the Lord’s Vineyard to encourage each other, to reconnect with the source of our formation or sabbatical renewal and to be touched by the grace of Jesus Christ while on pilgrimage.

We all know the amazing energy and sacrifice that goes into getting the parish, school, religious education program and so many other church entities up and running for a new year after the summer holidays. And it is all worth the effort because we are fostering the mission of Jesus Christ to draw all into His Passion, Death and Resurrection, we are leading our people in glorifying our Heavenly Father and we are building up the Body of Christ on earth! So too, the time we take to foster renewal and priestly fraternity is worth the effort, and is something we need for our ministry.

Especially in these times when our Church is facing sobering challenges and we as alumni are often on the front lines with our Catholic community, being together as priests will give us strength and renewal to navigate the path ahead.

This is the reason why I think it is so important for all of us to consider participating in our 2025 Alumni Reunion. Going to the Heart of the Church during a Jubilee Year to pray at the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul, to receive the Vicar of Christ’s blessing, and to renew our faith in Jesus Christ as true God and true man during the anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, will be a source of strength, blessing and friendship for us.

I look forward to some wonderful days of reunion with you in Rome in January!

In Christ,

Msgr. Luke Sweeney
