The leaders of Catholic agencies from around the world will be in Rome from 12 – 17 May for the 20th Caritas Internationalis General Assembly, titled “One Human Family, Caring for Creation”. It will start on Tuesday evening 12 May with a Mass with Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Basilica.
Delegates will elect their leadership and approve directions for the confederation of 164 national aid organisations for 2015-2019. The focus will be on growing inequalities as well as the impact of climate change in the run up to a landmark papal encyclical on ecology and a critical UN meeting in Paris.
