Welcome

From the Co-Directors

Deborah Rose & Russ Petrus

Hello! And welcome to FutureChurch’s 32nd Annual Fall Event!

First and foremost, thank you for all you have done to support FutureChurch over the years. Without you, FutureChurch and the work we do for Vatican II reform would not exist.

We extend a special welcome to our keynote presenter, Rafael Luciani, STD.; and our honorees, Sr. Maureen Sullivan, OP and Yunuen Trujillo. We are honored that you have accepted our invitations to be a part of these evenings. Thank you for the work you do for the good of the Church and all God’s people.

It is a hopeful time to be a Catholic as we witness the Spirit at work before our very eyes on this Synodal journey. The Spirit is revealing herself through the persistence and witness of faithful Catholics who continue to seek the promise of the Gospel and the vision of Vatican II. And it has our profound privilege and deep honor as Co-Directors of FutureChurch to help create spaces where the Spirit can speak to and through all of us throughout this journey.

We look forward to continuing along this path with all of you - discerning, dreaming, hoping - helping to bring about the changes needed to build a radically inclusive Church that is alive with the gifts, talents, and faith of all its members.

In gratitude & hope,

Deborah Rose Russ Petrus
