In anticipation of the upcoming 2024 elections of the European Parliament, the Bishops of #EUREGIO recently convened at La Maison Robert Schuman in Moselle, France to sign a pastoral letter, ‘Un souffle nouveau pour l’Europe’ (‘A New Lease of Life for Europe’).

We are honoured to share that our Co-President, Bishop (Em.) Marc Stenger, participated in this significant occasion and endorsed this document. Discover the key insights from Bishop Stenger as he reflects on this pastoral letter here.

Signature of Mgr Marc Stenger, Bishop Emeritus of Troyes

This pastoral letter stands as a testament to the Bishops’ unwavering dedication to fostering unity, dialogue, and peace within the European community. It embodies their collective vision for a Europe that embraces diversity, champions justice, and upholds the inherent dignity of every individual.

“Creativity, spirituality, fraternity and, for us Christians, the evangelical spirit give our Europe the new breath it needs. As we cast our ballots, may we be aware that we are voting for a project of hope.”
