Path To Peace Gala Dinner Honored
His Eminence Pietro Cardinal Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See
The Path to Peace Gala Dinner, in support of the work of the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations in New York and urgent humanitarian causes, honors an individual each year for outstanding service to the cause of peace.
This year, the Holy See Mission marks the 60th anniversary of the historic visit of Pope Saint Paul VI to the United Nations on October 4, 1965, as well as the 10th anniversary of His Holiness Pope Francis’ visit to the United Nations on September 25, 2015.
Given these two important anniversaries, our honoree was His Eminence, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See. He has served at various posts in the diplomatic service around the world and in Rome. The Holy See Mission and the Path to Peace Foundation have benefited from his wise guidance over the years and most especially during the pontificate of Pope Francis.
