John Xxiii Catholic Community

The Seeds for John XXIII Catholic Community were sown on October 11, 1962, when Pope John XXIII presented his opening speech at Vatican Council II. He Prayerfully exhorted the bishops of the world to open their minds and hearts to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in their deliberations. "Illuminated by the light of this Council, the Church we confidently trust-- will become greater in spirtual riches and gaining strenght of new energies there from, she will look to the future without fear. In fact, by bringing up to date where required, and by wise organization of mutual cooperation, the Church will make men, women, families and peoples turn their minds to heavenly things." John XXIII
