Bishop Ferretti delivers homily at Foggia Cathedral anniversary celebration

Bishop Ferretti delivered a homily at the Foggia Cathedral Basilica on October 23, 2026, during celebrations for the anniversary of the cathedral's dedication.

During his address, Ferretti spoke about the importance of keeping church doors open to provide a space of silence and peace for the community. He noted that the cathedral's doors offer an entrance for those seeking calm away from daily life, including young people in the city center. Ferretti stated that open doors represent the Church's readiness to welcome and forgive, whereas closed doors reflect indifference and a resignation toward the lives of people.
