Next spring, from April 29 to May 4, a group of the Catholic clergy of the Roman Diocese will make a pilgrimage trip to Moscow. According to the Vatican News portal, priests and deacons will visit the Holy Trinity Seriyev Lavra, the Novospassky Monastery and other monasteries and temples revered in Russia during the pilgrimage. The official website of the Roman Diocese notes that the pilgrimage trip will take place 'under the sign of dialogue with Orthodox Christians.' The group of pilgrims from the Western Church will be led by Vicar Cardinal Angelo De Donatis. It will also include the rector of the Russian Catholic Church in Rome, priest Germano Marani, a number of other clergymen and associate professor of the Ezio Aletti Research Center, Ms. Michelina Tenache. “Like last year in Turkey, we want to deepen our acquaintance with Orthodoxy, with its thousand-year history of spirituality and art. These days will be a blessed moment for the growth of priestly fellowship between us, which supports us in our desire to witness the Gospel, ”Cardinal De Donatis expresses confidence in this in his invitation letter.
