The Archdiocese of Seoul in South Korea received a first-class relic of Blessed Carlo Acutis in anticipation of the World Youth Day in their country in 2027.
The archbishop of Seoul expressed concern over North Korea’s decision to cut off road and rail access to
South Korea with the aim of “completely separating” the two countries.
It explains that the “deacons and priests who are selected as clergy through the sacrament of holy orders have the duties of proclaiming the Gospel, administering the sacraments, and serving the Church as collaborators of the bishop.”
Pope Francis has decided to postpone the upcoming World Youth Day and the World Meeting of Families for another year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
