Statement of Archbishop Henning on Pope Leo's Prayers for Peace

Archbishop Richard G. Henning:
“Peace be with you!” On the day of his election, Pope Leo XIV greeted the world with these words of the Lord Jesus. Pope Leo has made the summons to compassion and the longing for peace the central focus of his ministry as the Holy Father. He reminds us “blessed are the peacemakers,” and challenges us to find solutions to conflict that uphold human dignity and protect the sanctity of all human life. He speaks in accord with the dignity of his office and in fidelity to his mission. Here in the Archdiocese of Boston, we pray for Pope Leo in every Mass, and we receive his teachings with respect and a listening heart. And we support and pray for our Holy Father in his service to God, to the Church, and to the world. May the peace of God reign in our hearts and in our world.
Boston Catholic Appeal
Together we are one.
Once a year, Catholics throughout the Archdiocese are asked to support the greater church by giving a gift to the Catholic Appeal. Just as our weekly collection supports parish expenses, initiatives, and programs, the Catholic Appeal helps fund services that are essential to our parishes, schools, and the greater community. Each of us is responsible not only for the wellbeing of our parish but
also for the wellbeing of the Church throughout our Archdiocese. We invite you to prayerfully consider making a generous gift.
You can drop your donation in the collection (Catholic Appeal envelopes are in the pews, checks payable to “The Catholic Appeal”) or, to make a donation online, visit www.bostoncatholicappeal.org.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration of the 2026 Catholic Appeal.
