COMMUNIQUE ON CONGREGATION OF CHILDREN OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
Vatican City, 19 February 2013 (VIS) – After Archbishop Filippo
Iannone's apostolic visit to the Congregation of Children of the Immaculate
Conception on 15 February, the Holy Father has decided to entrust the
regulation of that religious
institute to Cardinal Giuseppe Versaldi, president of the Prefecture for the
Economic Affairs of the Holy See, naming him as the pontifical delegate. As
such, Cardinal Versaldi will carry out the task of guiding the religious
institute and of bringing
the health facilities it runs to a possible economic well-standing, avoiding,
however, participation by the Holy See in those tasks, according to a
communique published by the Press Office of the Holy See yesterday afternoon.

CARDINAL SARAH VISITS SYRIAN REFUGEES IN JORDAN
Vatican City, 19 February 2013 (VIS) - Cardinal Robert Sarah, president of the
Pontifical Council "Cor Unum" and Msgr. Giampietro Dal Toso, secretary of that
dicastery, are in Jordan from today until Thursday, 21 February, to
participate in the regional
conference of Caritas in the Middle East, North Africa, and Horn of Africa,
which is taking place in that country.
The forum is a very important opportunity to take stock of the humanitarian
aid provided by Catholic charities, including Caritas, to refugees and victims
of violent conflict in Syria since representatives of all the Caritas
organizations of that
region, as well as representatives of the local churches, will be present.
"The humanitarian situation in Syria, and throughout the region," a press
release from Cor Unum states, "is unsustainable. Some estimates speak of a
million refugees, more than two and a half million displaced persons, and
almost one hundred thousand
deaths directly attributable to violence. There are countless others, whose
numbers cannot be quantified, indirectly caused by the general impoverishment
of the population, caused mainly by war. The harsh winter is further
contributing to this sad
situation of suffering of an exhausted people, especially the weakest and most
vulnerable on the fringes of society."
During their trip Cardinal Sarah and Msgr. Del Toso will visit centres housing
numerous persons who have escaped the fighting in Syria. The visit with the
refugees will be organized by Caritas Jordan along with other Catholic
charities that deal with
humanitarian assistance and intervention. A meeting with King Abdullah of
Jordan is also planned for the prelates.
