Fr Raymond De Souza

Just days after the funeral of Cardinal George Pell, Canada’s Fr Raymond de Souza delivered this lecture focusing on one of the Cardinal’s greatest passions: the nurturing of university chaplaincies as centres of the New Evangelisation. When people talk about the late Cardinal, they often make specific mention of his courage. Friendship, according to Fr Raymond, was one of the sources of this courage. For the Cardinal, it took on both a personal and pastoral dimension.
Fr Raymond draws on his experience as a university chaplain and his relationship with the Cardinal in this lecture. He delves into the significance of friendship in conversions and the importance of university chaplaincies in providing the ideal environment for this evangelisation.
