The Convention of diocesan unit presidents and assistants this year was open to the regional delegations of the association. ‘You yourselves feed them’ is the title of the Convention, borrowed from the Gospel of Matthew (14,16), but it is also the headline of the Orientamenti per il triennio associativo 2024-2027, the document at the centre of the reflection and discussion of the Ac leaders of all the dioceses of Italy who met in Sacrofano (Rome) from 18 to 20 October.
On the occasion of the convention, Pope Francis sent a short video message to Italian Catholic Action in which he reminded them that Jesus’ command to “feed them” applies to all those in need and migrants in particular.
