The Minister General of the Friars Minor will celebrate the Eucharist today, Tuesday, February 25, at 1:00 PM in the central Chapel of the Policlinico Gemelli dedicated to Saint John Paul II. During the celebration, prayers will be offered asking the Lord for support and strength in illness for Pope Francis.
The Minister General, who is about to conclude his period of hospitalization, surgery, and initial recovery at the facility, joins the Franciscan Friars (OFM) who have been serving as chaplains at the Gemelli Hospital since 1963, in memory of their distinguished brother Agostino Gemelli, founder of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart.
