Thank you to each and every one of you for making our latest Fides gathering such a special one. Your presence, spirit, and support truly brought the evening to life.

📸 You can view more photos from the event here!

For those inspired by the evening, we invite you to learn more about:

• Laudato Si – Pope Francis’ encyclical on care for our common home

• Art for Laudato Si – Massimo’s Catholic art project

Couldn’t attend? Here are 3 powerful insights Massimo shared on how faith has shaped his work and life:

1. “Laudato Si really showed me that the church doesn’t need to be split politically but is meant to be all encompassing on both sides of the political sphere and that was a big part in me realizing that I should start working on Catholic Art (Art for Laudato Si), such as through the mural we painted at the Saint Theresa Mural in Costa Rica dedicated to Gaza ”

2. “Most people who react to us positively with the Pope Francis Mural aren’t Catholic. It has been a way for people to come closer to the church as many people react positively to him and we think it’s a way of bringing people to the church”.

3. “Confession is a big asset to us Catholics. It truly enables me for example to look in the mirror and being able to forgive for all the wrongdoings one does. It enables someone to move on. If more people had that ability I think it would help us in solving many problems such as war around the world and move on.

🎁 A special congratulations to Matthew, who received a copy of Holiness of Life at the event—a beautiful reflection on virtue by St. Bonaventure and our sponsor TAN Books.

We look forward to seeing you at the next event soon. Until then, let’s continue building a community rooted in faith, purpose, and beauty.
