The International Anniversary Pilgrimage of the month of May will be presided over by His Eminence Óscar Cardinal Maradiaga, Archbishop of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and President of Caritas International.
The Most Rev. António Marto, Bishop of Leiria-Fatima, notes that Cardinal Maradiaga “owes his coming to Fatima to the fact that he will be in Portugal (at that time) in order to take part in a congress organized by Caritas. Being aware of that, I took the opportunity to invite him to preside over the pilgrimage, hoping to get from him, as President of Caritas International, a global view of the consequences of the current socio-economic crisis”. |
