In the Vatican Basilica at 5 p.m. on 25 November, at the initiative
of the Syrian-Catholic Church in Rome, a Mass will be held in memory of
the priests and faithful who died in an attack against their cathedral
in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on 31 October, according to a communique
published today.
The Eucharist - which members of the diplomatic corps accredited to
the Holy See have also been invited to attend - will be celebrated by
Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental
Churches.
