Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Secretary of State of His Holiness, began a three-day visit to Denmark on January 24.
Cardinal Parolin took part in ecumenical Vespers at Copenhagen’s Lutheran cathedral, visited a Carmelite monastery and a Benedictine convent, and celebrated Mass in the Catholic cathedral in commemoration of the 1200th anniversary of St. Ansgar’s evangelizing mission in Denmark.
Today, Cardinal Parolin is scheduled to meet with Denmark’s king and minister of foreign affairs. He will also visit a seminary.
