Archbishop Claudio Maniago leads penitential celebration in San Giovanni d'Albi

Archbishop Claudio Maniago led a penitential celebration at the Santa Caterina Vergine e Martire church in San Giovanni d'Albi for the Gimigliano-Taverna vicariate. The event brought together parishioners from the synodal area including the communities of San Giovanni d'Albi, Albi, and Taverna.

During the visit, Archbishop Maniago spoke about the importance of the sacrament of reconciliation, describing it as a gift that allows people to experience God's love and forgiveness rather than a mere obligation. He used the image of a building made of bricks to explain how individual communities must work together to form the larger Church instead of living in isolation. The Archbishop noted that his presence serves as a sign of the unity that connects these different ecclesiastical realities. Following his reflection, the Archbishop began hearing individual confessions.
