On the first anniversary of Pope Francis’s passing, a ceremony was held at the memorial dedicated to him in the Port of Naples, which houses the relics of migrants who died at sea, victims of war, children who died of starvation, and the “Martyr Cities”.
On this occasion, Holy Mass was celebrated and Michele Capasso’s book “Francesco. Il Papa degli Stati Uniti del Mondo” (Edizioni Magma-SUM 2026) was presented in a national preview.
The event was attended by religious figures, members of the United States of the World, representatives from various countries and the Port Authority-Coastguard, as well as hundreds of faithful from various countries around the world.
