Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will visit Assisi to participate in the closing ceremony of an international meeting organized by the Community of Sant'Egidio. The event, scheduled for October 25 to 27, marks the 40th anniversary of the prayer for peace initiated by Pope John Paul II in 1986.

During the visit, the Pope will join 80 religious leaders to announce a new appeal for peace. Marco Impagliazzo, president of the Community of Sant'Egidio, stated that the gathering is expected to draw approximately 380 participants representing religion, culture, and politics from 53 countries.

Felice Accrocca, the bishop of the Diocese of Assisi–Nocera Umbra–Gualdo Tadino and Foligno, welcomed the announcement of the papal visit. The international meeting, titled "Disarmed and Disarming Peace," will include 155 speakers and 24 thematic forums.
