Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops

Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod of Bishop, sent a video message to university students from across the Americas in anticipation of their conversation with Pope Francis titled "Building Bridges." This historic dialogue led by Pope Francis will gather university students from North, Central, and South America to address the salient challenges of our times. The dialogue will especially seek to include students who are themselves migrants or the children of migrants and to empower them to pursue projects that will lead the way to social justice and the common good. Building Bridges will be hosted by Loyola University Chicago in collaboration with the Argentinian theologian, Emilce Cuda, the new head of the office of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America.
