In Memoriam of Pope Francis

In light of the passing of our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and the subsequent postponement of the canonization, we have thoughtfully adjusted the evening’s program.

During these days of mourning, we wish to honor the extraordinary life and pontificate of Pope Francis. EWTN has accompanied him throughout his papacy—traveling alongside him and sharing his message with the world.

We will proceed with the event as scheduled on Monday, April 28th at the Rome Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria, located atVia Alberto Cadlolo 101, Rome. The evening will now feature a program dedicated to the papacy of Pope Francis and its profound impact on the Church and the world. Join us as we reflect on the defining moments of his pontificate and hear from those who closely witnessed and reported on this remarkable chapter in Church history.

Evening Program (Preliminary Outline):

  • 7:00 PM | Welcome & Aperitivi
  • 7:45 PM | Dinner
  • 8:15 PM | Panel Discussion

Please confirm your participation by contacting Boglarka Sztancs at bsztancs@ewtn.com.

We hope you will join us for this special evening of remembrance and reflection.
