VII Pan-European Forum of Confraternities in Enna

Overview

The city of Enna, Sicily, is preparing to host the VII Pan-European Forum of Confraternities from October 2 to October 7. This marks the first time the event has been held in Italy since its previous edition in Vatican City.

The forum is expected to attract over two thousand participants from ten European countries. Key figures include Cardinals Angelo Bagnasco and Enrico Feroci, with Salvatore Martinez acting as the scientific curator. The event aims to explore the history and contemporary role of religious confraternities, which officials describe as a vital part of the social and religious fabric of Europe.

Planned activities include the ‘Habitus Fidei’ exhibition of sacred garments, a ‘Young Forum’ for youth engagement, and a major procession on October 4 featuring delegations from Malta, Malaga, Seville, Portugal, Switzerland, and Vatican City. Local officials are also focusing on cultural heritage initiatives, such as the reopening of the Museo del Mito and the restoration of local tourist routes, to support the event.
