Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz gave the closing address at the conference for over 400 Church communicators held at the Pontifical University of Santa Croce in Rome, from 17-19 April.

"Prayer is the most powerful weapon we have for building up the Church,” Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz said during his four-day pastoral visit to Stockholm, where he greeted Cardinal Arborelius and met with faithful and friends of the Prelature.
