Bishop of Terni-Narni-Amelia begins pastoral ministry

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Bishop Alfonso Raimo began his pastoral ministry in the Diocese of Terni-Narni-Amelia on the afternoon of October 24. During a liturgy at the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, Raimo took possession of the diocese and was installed at the cathedra.

The installation included the ritual kissing of the crucifix, prayer at the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, and the reading of the decree of appointment. Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, the Apostolic Nuncio to Italy and the Republic of San Marino, attended the ceremony. Raimo expressed gratitude to Pope Leo XIV for the appointment and thanked diocesan administrator Matteo Antonelli for managing the diocese during the transition.

The Eucharistic celebration was concelebrated by several bishops, including Andrea Bellandi of Salerno, Marco Salvi of Civita Castellana, Ivan Maffeis of Perugia-Città della Pieve, Luciano Paolucci Bedini of Gubbio and Città di Castello, and Gualtiero Sigismondi of Orvieto-Todi. Approximately 90 priests and deacons also participated in the rite.
