message
for
the
70th
anniversary
of
the
International
Catholic
Center
for
Cooperation
with
UNESCO
(ICCC),
founded
in
1947,
Pope
Francis
encourages
to
reject
fear,
violence
and
closure
and
to
choose
“brotherhood.”
For
this
occasion,
the
ICCC
organized
on
Thursday,
March
23,
2017,
an
international
Forum,
entitled
“What
World
Do
We
Want
to
Build
Together?”
at
UNESCO’s
House
in
Paris,
France,
in
collaboration

the
Holy
See’s
Permanent
Observation
Mission
at
UNESCO
and
under
the
patronage
of
UNESCO
and
the
French
National
Commission
for
UNESCO.
Monsignor Francesco Follo, the Holy See’s Permanent Observer at UNESCO, read the Pontiff’s message. In this message, addressed by the Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin to Christine Roche, President of the ICCC, Pope Francis greets the participants and UNESCO’s action for the “renewal of humanity.” His Holiness Pope Francis greeted warmly all the participants of the well-informed forum “What World Do We Want to Build Today?” organized by UNESCO, which this year is celebrating its 70th anniversary.
