More than 6,000 seminarians, priests, and bishops from five continents gathered in Rome this week for a series of jubilee events. The five-day event included prayer, pilgrimages through the Holy Door, concerts, and meetings aimed at deepening the participants’ commitment to their vocation. Pope Leo XIV delivered uplifting messages, reminding those following Christ’s example to serve his people with joy and honesty. He also ordained 32 new priests, including Reverend Gilbert Tika from Ghana, who shared his joy and sense of mission with EWTN News. EWTN Vatican Correspondent Valentina Di Donato has more.
