What an inspiring moment for our OSV family!

In honor of Pope Leo XIV’s birthday, we collected more than 2 million prayers and works from Catholics around the world in a spiritual bouquet.

This week, our OSV News Editor-in-Chief, Gretchen Crowe, had the privilege of meeting His Holiness in person to present him with a physical copy of that bouquet.

It’s a beautiful reminder that when Catholic publishers, communicators, and ministries unite in faith, meaningful things happen.

This Sunday is Catechetical Sunday 🌿—a time to pray for and thank the catechists who hand on the treasure of our faith.

The theme this year, “Always be ready to give an explanation… for a reason for your hope” (1 Peter 3:15), reminds us that every catechist is a living sign of hope.

At OSV, we’re proud to walk alongside catechists with resources and support that help them keep faith formation fresh, dynamic, and full of life. Whether it’s a heartfelt prayer, a clever lesson idea, or even just a smile shared with a student—catechists show us the joy of the Gospel.

💬 Tag a catechist who has inspired you and let them know how grateful you are!

On this day, we honor the memory of all who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and we hold their loved ones in prayer.

Though the day was marked by tragedy, it was also met with extraordinary courage, compassion, and unity. In remembering, we also look forward — placing our hope in Christ, the Prince of Peace, who heals hearts and restores what is broken.
