The Mexican bishops’ conference announced that 1,370 people will gather in Guadalajara from January 30 and February 1 for a National Dialogue for Peace.
The murder of two Jesuit priests in 2022 led to “the largest listening movement in Mexico’s recent history: more than a thousand forums throughout the national territory that documented more than 20,000 voices,” according to the Jesuits of Mexico.
The listening sessions led to a national peace agenda and will culminate in the national dialogue. The dialogue’s executive director is Father Atilano González Candia, SJ.
