OSV Talks’ new season features inspiring content on peacemaking, artificial intelligence, mercy, and youth ministry.

Built around the theme, “You are needed because love still needs hands,” the renewed OSV Talks experience is designed to do more than inspire viewers. Each talk is accompanied by resources that encourage ministry leaders, parish staff, Catholic educators, and engaged Catholics to continue the conversations and apply new ideas in their respective contexts.

Through these OSV Talks and supporting resources, we’re helping ministry leaders move from inspiration to discussion and action.”
