Shaping Culture Through Authentic Leadership

But shaping culture requires courage. It requires a willingness to go against the current, to speak when silence is easier, to lead when others hesitate.

Too often, Catholics have taken a back seat in shaping culture. We watch trends unfold, policies shift, and values erode, and we react rather than lead. We lament what is lost but hesitate to step forward and make a difference.

This passive role is not our vocation.

As baptized Catholics, we are called not merely to follow culture, but to shape it. To be salt and light. To be leaven in the world, transforming society from within. The Hour of the Laity 2025 is where this call is renewed, clarified, and strengthened.

At THL2025, Catholic professionals from around the world will be equipped to lead courageously in their professions. In business, leadership means building companies rooted in justice and service. In education, it means forming students in wisdom, not just knowledge. In media, it means speaking truth with clarity and charity. In law and politics, it means defending the dignity of the human person and the common good. In the arts, it means creating beauty that lifts hearts to God.

The laity are not spectators in the renewal of culture. We are protagonists.

But shaping culture requires courage. It requires a willingness to go against the current, to speak when silence is easier, to lead when others hesitate. And it requires formation, prayer, and fraternity—gifts that THL2025 offers in abundance.

Imagine standing with Catholic leaders who share this mission. Imagine leaving Tepeyac Hill not only inspired, but equipped to go home and shape culture with truth, integrity, and faith.

The world needs leaders who shape culture. Will you rise to this calling?
