Welcome to the world of liturgical celebrations presided over by none other than Pope Francis himself! The calendar for these divine events, published by Monsignor Diego Ravelli, the Master of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations, promises a spiritually enriching experience from June to September.
The festivities kick off with the Holy Mass and blessing of palliums for new metropolitan archbishops on June 29, the solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome. This sets the tone for a series of sacred events.
On July 1, Pope Francis will hold an Ordinary Public Consistory, followed by a Pastoral Visit to Trieste on July 7. The visit program, announced during the 50th Social Week of Catholics in Italy, promises to delve into the theme “At the heart of democracy. Participate between history and the future.”
Two apostolic journeys in September
September marks the resumption of the papal agenda after the summer break, with General Audiences and Sunday Angelus prayers. But the highlight awaits in September with two apostolic journeys.
From September 2 to 13, Pope Francis embarks on an Apostolic Journey to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Singapore, fostering ties of spirituality and goodwill. Later in the month, from September 26 to 29, the Holy Father will grace Luxembourg and Belgium with his presence, spreading the message of peace and unity.
