Programme of Pope Francis’ October visit to Cesena,
Bologna
(Vatican Radio) The Vatican has announced that Pope
Francis will visit the northern Italian cities of Cesena and Bologna on Sunday,
1 October 2017.
His pastoral visit coincides with the 300th anniversary of
the birth of Pope Pius VI in 1717, who reigned as Pope from 15 February 1775
until his death on 29 August 1799.
Pope Francis will make the trip at the invitation of
Archbishop Matteo Maria Zuppi of Bologna and Bishop Douglas Regattieri of
Cesena-Sarsina.
A communique released by the Archdiocese of Bologna says the
Pope’s pastoral visit occurs on “the occasion of the Diocesan Eucharistic
Congress”, at which event the faithful are invited to renew their “efforts
towards the diffusion, knowledge, and understanding of Sacred Scripture”.
