Athletica Vaticana, the 'Team of the Pope ,' prepares for its imminent participation in the European Cycling Championship in Belgium, less than two weeks before Pope Francis is slated to make an Apostolic Journey to the nation.
Pope Francis will be in Belgium, 26-29 September, and, as reported in a press release, his team will promote a fraternal, inclusive, and solidarity-based proposal for peace in the heart of war-wounded Europe.It is the third time for the ‘team of the Pope’ to compete in the World Championships, after its debut at the 2022 edition in Australia, and then in the 2023 edition in Scotland.
It is the first participation in the European Championship for the Vatican Cycling Federation within Athletica Vaticana.On Saturday, 14 September, the Vatican cyclists will embrace the Catholic community, a point of reference for people living in fragile and poor conditions.During Holy Mass, celebrated in St. Quentin's Cathedral, prayers will be said in particular for all cyclists, both professionals and amateurs, and for sport to be always an experience of peace.
There will also be a special remembrance of Pope Saint John Paul II's Apostolic Journey in 1995 for the beatification of missionary Damian de Veuster, who lived in the 19th century among lepers on the island of Molokai, who came from the very land that is hosting the European Cycling Championships.
