From left, Chris Coleman, president and CEO of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, Archbishop Bernard Hebda and Leslie Varela, a student at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, join others at an event July 8 in St. Paul to launch the building of a Habitat home that is part of the Pope Leo Village movement, an interfaith, multi-city housing initiative inspired by Pope Leo XIV. During remarks he gave at the July 8 event, Archbishop Hebda praised “the magnificent work of Habitat for Humanity” and said, “Pope Leo is asking people to work together… to put our resources together in a way that we’re able to build and to help people.” DAVE HRBACEK | THE CATHOLIC SPIRIT
