meets in a Roman parish with 200 children for the Year of Prayer

The Pope left the Vatican this Thursday to travel to the Roman parish of San Juan María Vianney and teach the little ones “the catechism” in the first meeting of the School of Prayer, which the Vatican has launched on the occasion of the Year of Prayer in 2024 as the eve of the Great Jubilee of 2025.

Three months after his visit to the Roman parish of Saint George in Acilia, located in a neighborhood that Paul VI already visited in 1971, Pope Francis resumed last Friday, April 5, the custom of approaching Roman communities, preferably in the periphery.

Then, around 4:00 p.m., he headed to the church of San Enrique, in the Casal Monastero neighborhood, about 18 kilometers from the city center.
