Works of Hope

We are excited to share the third issue of Works of Hope magazine with you today! Works of Hope is a new publication from the National Association of Catholic Chaplains dedicated to supporting and promoting pastoral ministry across the country.

A tablet displaying the cover of Works of Hope magazine, Volume 2, Issue 2 (June 2026). The cover features two smiling young women wearing USC (University of Southern California) shirts — one white, one red — both making peace signs. The masthead reads "Works of Hope" in large text against a dark teal banner. Below the photo, two article teasers appear: "Campus Ministry Rebooting — Catholic college students are rediscovering ministry organizations on campus (Page 46)" and "Screentime — Chaplaincy and technology synergize for good (Page 36)." The tablet is held against a blurred outdoor background with green foliage and yellow flowers.
