Diocese of Ventimiglia–San Remo opens pastoral year

Bishop Antonio Suetta opened the new pastoral and formation year for the Diocese of Ventimiglia–San Remo with a gathering at the Ventimiglia Cathedral. The event included catechists, priests, religious sisters and brothers, and diocesan pastoral workers.

The year's focus centers on the second part of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, covering the celebration of the mystery of Christ in the sacraments. Father Andrea Palmentura, a member of the Carmelitani Scalzi, led a catechesis on the seven sacraments with reference to numbers 1066-1211 of the Catechism. During his reflection, Palmentura described the sacraments as effective signs of grace that correspond to important moments in a Christian's life, noting that the Holy Eucharist is at the center of the group.
