Continuing the Momentum: Results of GHR’s Papal Reflection

His Holiness Pope Francis’ historic visit to the United States created an important moment—unlikely allies came together and people of all faiths were called to advance the common good. Pope Francis has highlighted issues of common concern, from inter-religious collaboration to the importance of service.

To continue momentum following the visit, GHR conducted a brief survey. This online reflection was focused on gathering feedback to Pope Francis’ message and practical next steps. Nearly 100 respondents participated, providing insight and using the moment to look forward. We have compiled the results into a simple and hope-filled book to share reactions and create new connections between partners. As Pope Francis launches the Holy Year of Mercy in another sign of his commitment to openness and collaboration, GHR is motivated to make this moment count.

Please review the report to read quotations and next steps. Feel free to download and share this report containing next steps and words from the Holy Father.

GHR values feedback from our partners and looks forward to implementing our own commitments, including:

1. Convening unlikely partners to find a common path forward
2. Continuing to fund priorities the Holy Father highlighted—inter-religious action and strengthening families
