At 16.00 today, the Holy Father will celebrate the Eucharist with the group of Chilean priests who since yesterday have been guests at Santa Marta, thus initiating the encounters.

The aim of this meeting convoked by Pope Francis is to examine the situation experienced by a part of the Chilean faithful and clergy. With the help of these five priests, the Pope will endeavour to remedy the internal rupture in the community. In this way it may be possible to begin to reconstruct a healthy relationship between the faithful and their pastors, once everyone has become aware of their own injuries.
