RMG – The Evangelisation of Peoples at the Sacred Heart of Jesus

13 June 2024

Rome, Italy - June 2024 - At noon on Thursday, 13 June 2024, in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Castro Pretorio, 38 priests from the Section for First Evangelisation and the new Particular Churches in the Dicastery for Evangelisation (formerly the Dicastery of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples or Propaganda Fide) gathered to celebrate the Eucharist and to thank the Sacred Heart for the pastoral year that had passed, for the work done and for the priestly anniversaries of some members. The Mass was presided over by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, former Prefect of the Dicastery and today Pro-Prefect of the Section for First Evangelisation and the New Particular Churches, with Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu, Archbishop Secretary, and Archbishop Emilio Nappa, Assistant Secretary, at his side. The choice of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart for this celebration was motivated by the fact that the church, built by Don Bosco, is the International Church of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and for the Dicastery working for the Evangelisation of Peoples, priestly holiness depends on the link with the Heart of Jesus, from which the fruits for Evangelisation and Missio ad gentes also derive.
