Msgr. Graziano Borgonovo at the International Conference “Paths of Faith, Places of Encounter”

On Thursday, 5 November 2026, Msgr. Graziano Borgonovo, Undersecretary of the Dicastery for Evangelization, took part in the international conference “Paths of Faith, Places of Encounter. Religious Routes between Law, Institutions and Communities: Crossroads of Cultures and European Horizons”, held at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Piacenza.

In his address, Msgr. Borgonovo explored the spiritual significance of pilgrimage, highlighting how setting out on a journey means opening oneself to new horizons, acknowledging one's own limitations and discovering that “we never walk alone”.

The conference provided an important opportunity to reflect on the value of religious routes, understood not only as paths of faith but also as places of encounter between cultures, communities and territories, capable of fostering dialogue, hospitality and the appreciation of spiritual and cultural heritage.
