Vatican: Conference on Evangelii gaudium and pastoral ministry

Paul VI Audience Hall

The international meeting 'The Pastoral Project of 'Evangelii gaudium', organised by the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelisation, will be held in the Vatican from 18 to 20 September and will be attended by more than 2,000 pastoral workers from seventy countries worldwide.

Bishops, priests, catechists, consecrated persons, pastoral workers and members of associations and movements will explore in depth the content of the apostolic Exhortation that Pope Francis has indicated as the programme for his papacy. Renowned speakers will discuss specific themes in relation to pastoral ministry and evangelisation.

The meeting will culminate with an encounter with the Holy Father on Friday afternoon.
