At a recent interfaith prayer service in solidarity with immigrants, I was inspired and challenged by a sign that read, “Love your neighbor—no exceptions!” This is our call to work for communion with all our sisters and brothers.

The Communion Project is committed to overcoming the toxic polarization that has infected our society. Pope Leo XIV calls us to “measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect… let words of hatred give way to words of hope and peace.” That is the work of the Communion Project, which is so greatly needed in our families, our church, our communities, our country, and the world.
