Pierbattista Pizzaballa a Jesolo

Jesolo is preparing to welcome one of the most authoritative and listened to figures of the contemporary Catholic Church. On Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, will be in the city for a visit that represents an extraordinary religious, cultural, and civic event, destined to attract attention well beyond the boundaries of the territory. The program of the visit includes the celebration of the Holy Mass at 6:30 p.m. in the Church of Santa Maria Ausiliatrice in Piazza Trieste. At 8:45 p.m., the Cardinal will be the protagonist of a public dialogue in Piazza Mazzini, during which he will share his direct testimony about the reality of Gaza and the tragedy of the war that continues to mark the Middle East. A rare opportunity to hear a voice that, in recent months, has become a point of reference in the account and understanding of one of the main scenarios of international crisis.
