Bishop of Melfi–Rapolla–Venosa writes letter to suffering faithful

Bishop Ciro Fanelli wrote a letter to the people of the Melfi–Rapolla–Venosa diocese to express his closeness to families facing difficult times. Writing from the episcopal house in Melfi, the bishop addressed the communities of Vulture-Melfese and Alto Bradano.

The bishop wrote the letter following a phone call from Donato, a farmer from Gaudiano, who asked him to support farmers in Lavello and the Vulture region. Fanelli stated that the Church intends to accompany these people through prayer and active commitment rather than offering mere formalities. He noted that he plans to meet with the farmer soon to discuss these concerns further.
