Ahead of the 250th anniversary of the United States, editors and writers at the National Catholic Reporter and Global Sisters Report asked a range of Catholic leaders for brief responses (100 words or fewer) to one question: 

"What is your hope for America at 250?"

You can read responses from political leaders (including two former speakers of the House of Representatives), leaders in ministry, Catholic activism, and Catholic colleges and universities.

And if you're interested in hearing what Catholics thought about the U.S. bicentennial in 1976, NCR collected some responses from our archives.


including Dorthy Day's one word response

REPENT.
