HOPEFUL CATHOLICS


'Thus says the Lord:

“I know the plans I have in mind for you,

plans for peace, not disaster, reserving a future full of hope for you.” ' Jeremiah 29:11

YOU ARE VERY WELCOME

Welcome to Hopeful Catholics. Our mission is to support ordinary Catholics on their spiritual journey towards a closer relationship with Christ and His church.

Above all, we echo the words of the Lord (above) to Jeremiah. If Jesus is the Saviour of the world, we cannot fail to believe that his plan is working. Therefore we must be people of hope.

We offer a wide range of faith based writings and videos, valuable insights, and enriching workshops that we hope will help towards fortifying and deepening your faith and hope.

What we do, and our mission goals for Hopeful Catholics

This project is rooted in the HOPE which is the fundamental theme of  our book 'A Message for Its Own Time'.

It is designed to inspire and empower readers on their spiritual path into the future which is full of promise. God is pressing down upon the world to fulfil his purpose of bringing all humanity into the wonder of his beautiful Kingdom.

The contents offer a practical  approach to spiritual growth, guiding individuals to explore new depths of faith and understanding through reflective and meditative practices and tangible steps towards building the Church.
