Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew declared 2020 as the “year of pastoral renewal and due concern for the youth." We have yearned to engage with our youth, as His All-Holiness encourages us, “with imagination and vision, with unshakable faith in the eternally flowing grace of God and confidence in the power of human freedom.” The COVID-19 pandemic has caused great harm and distress across the globe and interrupted every facet of our lives, especially educational pursuits. We await the time when we may re-engage with one another, but until then, we need to use our “imagination and vision” in new and maybe unheard of ways.

Note for subscribers: Due to cost-saving measures of the archdiocese during the pandemic, the DRE elected not to order a traditional print run of the issue but to make it available in digital format only at this time. In light of this, current paid subscriptions will be extended by one issue as a courtesy.
