We Are His Witnesses

A shared journey of faith, renewal, and mission

A Shared Journey of Renewal, Mission, and Hope

Launched in June 2025, We Are His Witnesses is a multiyear initiative guiding the Archdiocese on a path of pastoral conversion. Inspired by the Word of God and rooted in Pope Francis’ Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel). It calls the Church to reimagine parish life, mission and ministry in response to a changing world. The initiative seeks to renew missionary discipleship, strengthen parish vitality and engage the faithful in listening, discernment and shared action.

We Are His Witnesses—what it is, why it matters, and how to participate in shaping the future of our local Church.

Why This Journey?

We Are His Witnesses seeks to renew our identity as missionary disciples, strengthen parish vitality, and ensure that our local Church can fulfill its mission for generations to come.

What’s Next?

Parishes should carefully examine their sacramental life and effectiveness in forming disciples, and how they reach those who are absent, young, marginalized, or disconnected.

How to Participate

Through prayer, dialogue and feedback, parish communities continue to be instrumental in guiding this process, with pastors and key leaders receiving resources to support parish discernment.
