Rome, 13 November 2025

From 9 to 11 November 2025, FAFCE President Vincenzo Bassi takes part in CCEE meeting of bishops and national directors for Family and Life in Rome (Italy).

“The seminar participants had the opportunity to listen to presentations from the various Bishops’ Conferences as well as the report on the activities of FAFCE (Federation of Catholic Family Associations in Europe), which has a dual mission: to represent the voice of the family at both the European Union and international level as well as to promote the work and development of family associations.

The programme of the meeting was enriched by moments of communion, culture and prayer, which included passing through the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica and a visit to the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls” (extract from CCEE website).

The CCEE is the Council of Bishops’ Conferences of Europe and is made up of thirty-nine members, representing the Catholic Church in forty-five countries in the European continent.
