  • Archdiocese of Tunis visits Diocese of Mazara del Vallo

    A delegation from the Archdiocese of Tunis visited the Diocese of Mazara del Vallo in Sicily from August 27 to August 31. The group, which included Bishop Nicolas, Father Jacques, Sister Laura, Sister Jessy, and a representative from the Archdiocese, traveled to visit their sister diocese. The visit follows a long tradition of Sicilian faithful traveling to Tunisia once or twice a year. This twinning relationship between the two dioceses will soon celebrate 30 years. During the trip, the delegation met with the Mazara twinning committee and various ecclesial groups within the diocese. The Archdiocese of Tunis stated that the partnership serves to encourage mutual growth in faith and ecclesial life while helping both communities face shared challenges through dialogue and cooperation.
