The Universal Apostolic Preferences

The Universal Apostolic Preferences are guiding priorities set by the Catholic Church to focus its efforts during a specific period. They aim to encourage communities and individuals to deepen their faith by addressing key areas: welcoming and supporting those on the margins, journeying with young people, caring for creation and the environment, and revitalizing spiritual life through prayer and the sacraments. These preferences help the Church organize its initiatives worldwide, ensuring it serves communities effectively while staying true to its mission of love, compassion, and spiritual growth.
