VATICAN INSIDER CELEBRATES CGA, CATHOLIC GRANDPARENTS ASSOCIATION

About this sermon

Welcome to Vatican Insider on another exciting Jubilee weekend in a very hot Rome – the Jubilee of Sports with a lot of events in the agenda including the Mass on Sunday the 15th celebrated by Pope Leo XIV, a Pope who likes sports, and has played tennis, and is a fan of his native Chicago’s baseball team, the White Sox. In fact, he was given a White Sox baseball cap at the Wednesday general audience and wore it briefly, sporting a broad smile! (photos from Fr.Peter Zorjan! Leo XIV is standing near a group of American seminarians and I suspect they gave him the hat!) The interview segment features Catherine Wiley and Marilyn Henry of the Catholic Grandparents Association as we talk about the first international conference CGA recently held in Rocca di Papa, near Rome. Catherine is the founder and president of CGA and Marilyn is the delegate for the U.S. and works with other CGA groups internationally. CGA grandparents from Ireland, England, Australia, the U.S., Malta, Gibraltar and the Philippines were among those attending the conference. That fascinating conversation comes after the news.
