POPE CALLING WORLD'S PRIESTS TO ROME
VATICAN CITY, JULY 30, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI is inviting priests from around the world to Rome next June to close the Year for Priests.
The International Conference for Priests will be held June 9-11, 2010, culminating with a Mass presided over by the Pope.
The theme for the conference, like that of the priestly year, is "Faithfulness of Christ, Faithfulness of Priests." The program includes moments of prayer, reflection, the chance to go to confession, and the papal Mass.
The organization of the event has been entrusted to Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi, the Vatican institution whose mission is to evangelize through pastoral tourism and the ministry of pilgrimage.
More information on the program and registration (for now, only in Italian) can be found at their Web site.
