The event coincides with the first anniversary of the apostolic letter Una fedeltà che genera futuro, which was released to mark the 60th anniversary of the council decrees Optatam totius and Presbyterorum ordinis. Priests interested in attending must register through the Italian Episcopal Conference portal by October 31, 2026. In his invitation, Cardinal Zuppi noted that the council decrees remain relevant for helping priests maintain their ministry through connection to Christ, the Church, their bishops, and their fellow priests.
