The priests and deacons of the Archdiocese of Benevento will gather in prayer for Pope Leone during their monthly retreat on Thursday, 15 October, at Centro "La Pace."
According to the Archdiocese of Benevento and local broadcaster NTR24, the clergy retreat will include a collective prayer for the health and ministry of the Pope.
Archbishop Michele Autuoro has invited the entire diocese — parishes, religious communities, associations, and families — to join the intention spiritually from their own communities.
The stated prayer asks God to preserve the Pope's health, strengthen him in faith, and support him in guiding the Church.
The diocesan reports do not specify the medical circumstances behind the prayer intention, nor do they publish a starting time or indicate whether the gathering at Centro "La Pace" will be open to public attendance beyond the invitation to pray.
