Bishop Bruce invites you to participate in his year-long VAT2&U Initiative to gain clarity on the council. Each month offers excerpts, reflections, questions, and resources inviting participants to read, reflect, and to pray together.

What was Vatican II really about?

More than 60 years later, many still misunderstand it.

Now, you’re invited to rediscover its vision.

Introducing VAT2&U — a year-long initiative from the Diocese of Providence:
📖 Monthly reflections
🙏 Prayerful engagement
💡 Insight from trusted local voices

Participants will receive two digital communications each month through Flocknote, or can access the materials as downloadable PDFs.

Each reflection is thoughtfully written by local theologians, teachers who not only understand the richness of the Church’s tradition, but who genuinely love what they teach.

Join us in rediscovering the vision, purpose, and enduring significance of Vatican II.

👉 Sign up today via Flocknote or access the materials online.
