MSGR.
VERGEZ ALZAGA TO BE CONSECRATED THIS AFTERNOON; MORNING AUDIENCES
CANCELLED
Vatican
City, 15 November 2013 (VIS) – Pope Francis, suffering from a cold,
has cancelled this morning's engagements, the director of the Holy
Press Office Fr. Federico Lombardi S.J. told journalists. Since the
four audiences this morning were with heads of dicasteries of the
Curia, who are resident in Rome and may therefore be received at any
time, the Pope decided to postpone them.
However,
Fr. Lombardi confirmed the Holy Father's presence this afternoon at
St. Peter's Basilica for the episcopal consecration of Msgr. Fernando
Vergez Alzaga, secretary general of the Governorate of Vatican City
State.
COMMUNICATING
FAITH IN THE POPE'S DIOCESE: FIRST FORUM OF THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITIES
OF ROME
Vatican
City, 15 November 2013 (VIS) – The Catholic and Pontifical
Universities of the Pope's diocese are for the first time organising
a forum for discussing the theme “Communicating faith in Rome”,
which is scheduled to take place on 16 November in the Lateran
Pontifical University. The congress has been organised by the
Department for University Pastoral Care of the Vicariate of Rome as
part of the Year of Faith initiatives.
Auxiliary
Bishop Lorenzo Leuzzi, director of this department, explained that
the aim of this meeting is on the one hand to confirm the special
nature of the cultural contribution of the Catholic and Pontifical
Universities to the Roman university system and, on the other, to
present to the diocese of Rome their initiatives in relation to
formation and encouraging the communication of faith. “The Forum
also constitutes the conclusion of the path of collaboration between
the Catholic and Pontifical universities, which began with the Synod,
and opens a new phase of dialogue between the Church and the
universities of the city of Rome”, added Bishop Leuzzi.
PAUL
VI, FOLLOWING THE FOOTSTEPS OF ST. PETER IN THE HOLY LAND
Vatican
City, 15 November 2013 (VIS) - “4 to 5 January 1964. Paul VI's
pilgrimage in the Holy Land: an historic event for the Catholic
Church” is the title of the congress to be held today in the San
Fedele Auditorium, Milan, in which the archdiocese and its
archbishop, Cardinal Angelo Scola, pay homage to one of its most
illustrious archbishops, Cardinal Giovanni Battisti Montini, on the
fiftieth anniversary of his election to the See of St. Peter, in
1963.
The
Congress will focus on Paul VI's journey in the Holy Land, which made
him the first pontiff to make this pilgrimage, following in the
footsteps of St. Peter. This historic voyage is commemorated with a
screening of the documentary “Return to the beginnings – Paul VI
in the Holy Land”, produced in 1964 by the Guardian of the Holy
Land and restored for the occasion, which shows the Holy Land prior
the Six-Day War. The film's memorable images include the moving
encounter between the Pope and the ecumenical Patriarch of
Constantinople, Atenagoras, in Jerusalem.
