Great to see Sonja, one of our wonderful friends from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today for lunch! 😊

We shared dreams, hopes, ideas, and talked about all kinds of future projects and ways we can continue building bridges of friendship and faith together.

So much good can happen when people come together with open hearts, respect, and a desire to serve others. Why Not?!? 🙌

Grateful for the conversation, laughter, and vision for the future!

Grateful for the opportunity to speak with educators in training at the University of Houston With my friend Geetha!!!

We explored the importance of understanding and welcoming ecumenical and interreligious students in today’s classrooms—recognizing the diversity of faith traditions they will encounter and serve.

Together, we began mapping out practical ways to create spaces of respect, dialogue, and genuine hospitality in our schools.

The future is bright when educators lead with openness, knowledge, and compassion. 🙏

A heartfelt thank you to Nazli and all our friends at the Raindrop Turkish Center for welcoming us with such kindness, generosity, and friendship. It is always a blessing to gather around the table, share conversation, and continue building bridges of understanding and respect in our community.

So grateful for IM and all who helped bring this beautiful vision to life!

Thank you for helping the religions of Houston collaborate on a wonderful exhibit at the Children’s Museum in Houston! What a gift to see faith, culture, and community come together in a way that educates, inspires, and builds unity among our young people.

This is how we plant seeds of understanding.
This is how we build bridges.
This is how we grow.

Looking forward to the continued growth of this exhibit in the year to come — expanding dialogue, deepening friendships, and shining the light of faith in our city.

Why not?!?

With gratitude,
Fr O
