Pope Leo XIV to visit Assisi

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will visit Assisi to attend the closing ceremony of an international peace meeting organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio. The visit marks the 40th anniversary of the historic prayer meeting for peace initiated by Pope John Paul II on October 27, 1986.

The meeting, titled "Unarmed and Disarming Peace," is scheduled to take place from October 25 to 27. The event is expected to include Patriarch Bartholomew.

Felice Accrocca, the bishop of the Diocese of Assisi–Nocera Umbra–Gualdo Tadino and Foligno, welcomed the news of the papal visit. He stated that the presence of the pope alongside other religious leaders could strengthen a common path against all forms of violence. Accrocca noted that the community in Assisi gathers every 27th of the month to pray for victims of war, social conflict, and marginalization.
