POPE
TO VISIT THE HOUSE OF THE VERBITES IN NEMI
Vatican
City, 6 July 2012 (VIS) - On Monday 9 July, the Holy Father will make
a visit to the House of the Verbites in Nemi, a village near
Castelgandolfo, according to a communique issued today by the
Prefecture of the Pontifical Household.
It was at
the House of the Verbites - which since January 2010 has been known
as the "Ad Gentes Centre" - that the Vatican Council II
Commission on Missions met to prepare the draft of the Conciliar
Decree on the Mission Activity of the Church. The theologian and
professor Joseph Ratzinger participated in the session held there
from 29 March to 3 April 1965 as an expert of the conciliar assembly.
Hence the reason for his private visit, which he is making at the
invitation of the Missionaries of the Divine Word.
Benedict
XVI will depart from Castelgandolfo by car at 11.30 a.m., arriving at
Nemi a quarter of an hour later. He will be welcomed in the House of
the Verbites by Fr. Heinz Kuluke, superior general elect; Fr. Antonio
Pernia superior general, and Fr. Giancarlo Girardi, procurator
general. The Holy Father will then move on the chapel to meet with
the 150 participants in the general chapter of the order and the
community of the Mother House in Rome. Having adored the Blessed
Sacrament, and listened to a welcome address from Fr. Pernia, the
Pope will make some brief remarks and impart his apostolic blessing.
He is due
to return to Castelgandolfo at 12.15 p.m.
