Vatican officials to present ‘Pray with the Pope’ campaign
January 06, 2026
The Holy See Press Office announced yesterday that a press conference will be held on January 7 to present the “Pray with the Pope” prayer campaign.
Paolo Ruffini, prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, and Father Cristóbal Fones, international director of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, will speak at the press conference.
The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network, formerly known as the Apostleship of Prayer, began in 1844 when young French Jesuits “were encouraged to offer their daily lives in prayer for the mission of the Church,” the Network recalls. “In 1879, Pope Leo XIII introduced the practice of a monthly prayer intention, which would become the center of our shared mission.”
