On Tuesday, January 21, the Diocese of Sacramento observed the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity with an evening of prayer, discussion, and worship at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
Bishop Jaime Soto and Auxiliary Bishop Rey Bersabal welcomed faith leaders from various Christian traditions to reflect on Christ’s call for unity within His Church.
This annual January observance is a time for Christians to pray for the full, visible unity willed by Christ when He prayed: “That they may all be one” (John 17:21). This year’s theme, “We Believe,” marked the 1700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea, where the Church solemnly proclaimed the Nicene Creed, defending the truth of Christ’s divinity against heresy and establishing a profession of faith that remains central to Catholic teaching.
