About the Event
Launch of the Social Impact Project
In anticipation of the Centenary of Opus Dei (October 2, 2028 – February 14, 2030)
As Opus Dei approaches the centenary of its founding, we invite you to be part of a local initiative responding to its call to renew our service to the Church and to society.
This Social Impact Project seeks to:
Reach those most in need — the sick, the elderly, the lonely, and the forgotten
Foster genuine fraternity and unity among neighbors, one act of service at a time
Transform ordinary work and everyday generosity into a lasting gift for our community
“Love for our neighbor is tangible proof of the authenticity of our love for God… to serve one’s neighbor is to love God through deeds.” — Message of Pope Leo XIV for the 34th World Day of the Sick (2026)
Join us as we look toward the second century of this charism—with gratitude for the past and hope for what is to come.
