Reggio Calabria Archbishop to invite Pope for Cathedral centenary

Archbishop Fortunato Morrone has expressed his intention to invite Pope Leo XIV to Reggio Calabria to participate in the 2028 celebrations marking the centenary of the consecration of the city's Cathedral.

The Duomo was reconstructed following the devastating earthquake of 1908 and serves as a major symbol of the city's rebirth and identity. A papal visit would transform the centennial into a significant event for the Calabrian ecclesiastical community and attract international media attention.
