On 11 March, Bishop Claudio Lurati opened his pastoral visit to Sharm El-Sheikh with the Holy Mass with the Italian community in the basilica of Our Lady of Peace. Monsignor Antoine Tewfik, Vicar General of the Latins in Egypt, and Fr. Jeremiah Nashaat, pastor of the basilica, participated in the Holy Mass. The homily meditated on the meeting between Jesus Christ and the Samaritan woman that changed the course of the latter’s life and the lives of the people of her town. The Mass was concluded with a brief discussion about the Synod 2021-2024 in its continental phase, which was delivered by Monsignor Tewfik.
