Pope's liturgical celebrations in September - October
By Deborah Castellano Lubov
The Holy See Press Office has released the Calendar of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations for the months of September and October.
The liturgical calendar published on Tuesday highlights that Pope Francis will preside over various liturgical celebrations, including during his Apostolic Visit to Marseille, France, the Consistory for the creation of new Cardinals, and for the opening and closing of the Synod on Synodality in the Vatican.
In late September, the Pope will travel to the southern French city of Marseille to close the “Mediterranean Meetings” (Rencontres Méditerranéennes), which will gather bishops and young people from the Mediterranean on 17-24 September.
On the 22nd at 5:15 p.m., the Holy Father will preside over a Marian prayer with the diocesan clergy in the Basilica of Notre Dame de la Garde, followed by a moment of reflection with religious leaders near a memorial dedicated to sailors and migrants lost at sea.
The afternoon of the 23rd, the Pope will preside over Mass at the Vélodrome Stadium before departing from Marseille's International Airport for Rome.
The calendar also reflects that the afternoon of the 30 September Consistory, the Pope will also preside over an ecumenical prayer vigil.
