The Community of Sant'Egidio gives best wishes to mgr. Matteo Zuppi, auxiliary bishop of Rome, named by pope Francis as Archbishop of Bologna.
For many years we have appreciated his special human touch, the commitment with the poor, as parish priest of Santa Maria in Trastevere, as well as in the periphery of Rome; his work for peace in Africa and elsewhere and his being friedns of everyone.
Grateful to pope Francis for theis appointment, we wish all the best to Fr: Matteo for this new task that makes him responsible of a large diocese where we are sure he will bring enthusiasm and passion for the Gospel.
