The topic of the role of women is already starting to appear on the agenda. Now that the delivery of the Synod reports is approaching and the theme of the missing documents from Francis that are being prepared in the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has been announced, it has been announced through the Vatican media that next Friday, December 12, the Borgo Laudato si’, in Castel Gandolfo, will be the setting for the event titled “The strength of women – Custodians of peace, architects of the future”, an initiative that seeks to deepen the female role in areas such as social justice, care for creation, and the building of peace. The event is part of the first edition of the Hallelujah Film Festival – International Symposium for Peace, which will take place from December 6 to 13, 2025.
The day will begin with a short symbolic walk through the Borgo Laudato si’, a gesture intended to highlight the common commitment to peace and sustainability, integrating art, cinema, and culture as tools for dialogue.
The role of women in building more just communities
The December 12 event is conceived as a space for reflection on the role of women in promoting more inclusive societies, sensitive to social justice and attentive to environmental protection. According to Vatican News, figures from the world of cinema, culture, and the arts will participate.
The coordination of the day will be in charge of Pascal Vicedomini, creator of the Hallelujah Film Festival. The guest of honor will be the renowned director Liliana Cavani, whose presence adds a highlighted cultural component to the program.
A final reflection on reconciliation and social responsibility
The event will conclude with an intervention by Cardinal Fabio Baggio, undersecretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and general director of the Laudato si’ Higher Education Center. His message will focus on the importance of collective responsibility in reconciliation and peace processes, an aspect that directly connects with contemporary challenges of social construction and dialogue among peoples.
The event aims to be a point of convergence between culture, social commitment, and ethical reflection, reinforcing the line promoted by the Holy See on the role of women in public life and in building a more peaceful society. We'll see what the new event in the Borgo Laudato Si’ brings us.
