Bishop Cesare Di Pietro's diocesan visits

Overview

Bishop Cesare Di Pietro of the Locri-Gerace diocese has conducted several visits to various community and institutional organizations within his jurisdiction.

In early August, the Bishop visited Camini to observe social initiatives and integration projects. He characterized the town as an ‘oasis of peace’ and suggested that migration could act as a resource for mountain towns struggling with depopulation.

Later in the month, the Bishop’s activities expanded to include visits to the Azione Cattolica Adult Camp in Riace and the Maritime District Office of the Italian Coast Guard in Roccella Jonica. During the latter visit, he met with Coast Guard personnel to discuss maritime environmental protection and search and rescue operations, referring to the staff as ‘angels of the sea’ and ‘missionaries of hope’ for their role in saving approximately 1,500 people in the previous year.
