Last 6 and 7 September 2025, Br. JJ Jimenez FSC (LEAD Visitor) visited Universitas Katolik De La Salle Manado (UKDLSM), Indonesia. This coincided with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between LEAD and the Diocese of Manado, formalizing the support for UKDLSM as a Lasallian institution in East Asia. Br. JJ also took the time during the visit to meet with members of the Signum Fidei in Manado, leading them in a reflection on the Our Lady of the Star.

Joining the Jubilee of Youth in Rome was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that still amazes me. When I reflect on it now, Pope Francis’ message for the Jubilee Year of 2025, “Spes non confundit” (“Hope does not disappoint”), really resonates with me. It makes me remember what Pope Leo said about hope being the desire and expectation of good things to come, and how much the people around us shape who we are. That idea stuck with me because hope, especially when mixed with faith, has been what keeps me steady through everything.
