CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV met on June 20 with priests from the Pontifical Ecclesial Academy who were completing a year of missionary service, and encouraged them to bring their missionary sense into their future work in the Vatican diplomatic corps.
The Pontifical Ecclesial Academy, the training ground for Vatican diplomats, recently added a year of mission work to its program of formation.
