Faith talk - Monday, 17th October at 7pm

The key to pastoral leadership, for Pope Francis, is listening to the people. “If you do not touch the faith of the people, the faith of the people does not touch you.” This theme, which has permeated his papacy, has its roots in Argentina, where the young Giorgio Bergoglio learned, from President Juan Perón, that effective leaders are like the conductor of an orchestra, who leads by inspiring and encouraging, never by ordering.
