Communique | August 2026
Throughout August, the Church invites us to reflect on the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a heart completely open to God’s will and overflowing with love, compassion, and trust. As we celebrate the Assumption and the Queenship of Mary this month, may we ask her to lead us ever closer to her Son and help us to imitate her faith, humility, and joyful “yes” to God’s plan.
