On 29 June, the Chaplain-President was honoured to attend, along with other ecumenical and diplomatic guests, a solemn mass to celebrate the 9th anniversary of the election of Pope Francis as Bishop of Rome. The mass was celebrated by Cardinal De Kesel, Mgr Franco Coppola (the Papal Nuncio to Belgium and Luxembourg) and the entire Catholic episcopate of Belgium in Notre-Dame des Grâces Brussels, and was followed by a delightful reception for the diplomatic corps and ecumenical guests hosted by the Nuncio in the parish gardens.
