The bishop of the city of Nice, André Marceau, will be received by Pope Francis at the Vatican next week. He will not be the only one making this journey to Rome, as several French bishops are also expected.
What are the reasons for this meeting with Pope Francis next week? On September 11, the issue of migrants will be discussed within the Vatican.
The meeting with the Holy Father promises to be enriching for all the bishops, a meeting that will initially take place around a table where each clergyman will share his anecdotes from the past five years.
According to colleagues from the newspaper Nice-Matin, the bishop of the city of Nice is not new to interactions with Pope Francis.
Indeed, in several situations, André Marceau has had to travel to the Vatican many times for conferences, sessions, and especially after the attacks on July 14, 2016, in Nice. “When we went to Rome with the families of victims. It was a very beautiful exchange and longer than usual…” he told Nice-Matin.
