   CARITAS ORGANISES A WEEK OF SOLIDARITY IN ROME   
      
   VATICAN CITY, 11 OCT 2011 (VIS) - This week diocesan Caritas in Rome will   
   celebrate a series of initiatives under the title of "Capitale solidale".   
   The aim is "to analyse difficulties, discern changes, share experiences and   
   create a network of relationships between people for the common good" in the   
   diocese of which the Pope is bishop.   
      
     Over the course of the week a number of places symbolic of solidarity,   
   such as Caritas canteens and shelters, will host lectures, roundtable   
   discussions, book presentations, concerts, theatrical performances,   
   exhibitions, etc. "A series of events addressed at different sectors of the   
   public with the aim of spreading a culture of solidarity in which concern   
   for those in greatest need is real and authentic", according to a communique   
   from Msgr. Enrico Feroci, director of Caritas in Rome.   
      
     "The theme chosen this year is 'Faces and Narratives from a United City'   
   and the participants will be the users of Caritas centres, volunteers,   
   social workers and service providers. The intention is to make people aware   
   of the daily efforts of solidarity made by thousands of people, efforts   
   which often pass unobserved, precisely because they are 'ordinary' in their   
   extraordinariness", Msgr. Feroci says.   
      
     Today at the Caritas centre of Villa Glori a discussion will be held on   
   the "rights of refugees and of people under international protection", while   
   tomorrow a photographic exhibition entitled "The Face and Gaze of the Poor"   
   will be inaugurated at the Capitol, dedicated to Fr. Luigi Di Liegro,   
   founder of Roman Caritas. A Mass for Fr. Di Liegro will be celebrated at 6   
   p.m. this evening in the Roman basilica of the Holy Apostles. On Thursday 13   
   October, Cardinal Agostino Vallini, the Pope's vicar general for the diocese   
   of Rome, will preside at a missionary vigil in the basilica of St. John   
   Lateran.   
      
     On Friday 14 October, the headquarters of Rome's provincial administration   
   will host a discussion entitled: "From Problems to People: encountering man   
   in order to reanimate politics; possible routes to a shared society". Among   
   the participants will be Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, president of the   
   Pontifical Council for Social Communications, and Claudio Cecchini,   
   provincial councillor for social policies, the family and institutional   
   relations. On the afternoon of Saturday 15 October, young people from the   
   diocese of Rome will meet with the Pope in St. Peter's Square. The week will   
   end on Sunday 16 October with a meeting to be held at the Caritas centre of   
   Santa Giacinta, under the title: "Recount and Resist. This unknown   
   territory, voices and narratives from a united city", followed by a   
   performance entitled: "Voices and Music for an Evening of Solidarity".
