CWN Editor's Note: In an audience yesterday, Pope Leo XIV encouraged members of the Monsignor Courtney Fraternity in their charitable work. The foundation is named after Archbishop Michael Courtney (1945-2003), who was assassinated in Burundi, where he was apostolic nuncio.
“Your contribution to the construction of a monument in Minago—the site of his assassination—as well as your involvement in the project to build a health center, your daily charitable works towards the poor, and so many other initiatives, transmit a powerful message to the Church in your country,” Pope Leo said.
