Cardinal Pizzaballa Postpones His Trip to Rome

The Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, has cancelled a planned trip to Rome to take possession of his titular church, Sant'Onofrio, on 15 April. The reason is the current situation in the Middle East.

The ceremony has been postponed to a date to be determined.

The church of Sant'Onofrio, built in the early 15th century, is located near the Vatican, next to the Vatican children's hospital Bambino Gesú. It has been the seat of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem since 1945.
