Fátima/Escutismo: Papa associa-se a peregrinação nacional do CNE e pede construtores de paz

Pope Leo XIV called on Portuguese scouts to build peace within their families, schools, neighborhoods, and parishes during a message for the CNE national pilgrimage to Fatima. The message, read at the Cova da Iria prayer site during Sunday Mass, encouraged thousands of scouts to follow paths of dialogue, companionship, and fraternal sharing to leave the world better through faith and knowledge of the Son of God.

The Apostolic Nuncio to Portugal, Archbishop Andrés Carrascosa Coso, presided over the Mass and urged CNE members to serve others without seeking applause or using social media to document their good deeds. He advised the scouts to help others without needing photographs, stating that true fidelity begins when no one is watching. The Archbishop also noted that the home is the first place where individuals learn to serve.
