Bishop Diego Sarrió Cucarella hopes the pastoral visit will lead to ‘hearts opening to peace, a renewed commitment to coexistence, and a living witness to God’s glory through fraternity and mutual understanding.’
The most prominent figure among the seven is Charles de Foucauld, the French missionary killed in Algeria in 1916.
The canonizations will be the first since the start of the worldwide COVID-19 emergency.
One century after his death as a martyr, the priest who brought the Gospel to Islamic lands and lived among the Tuareg people in the Algerian desert will be proclaimed a saint.
