The Vatican is inaugurating an ambitious educational centre inspired by Pope Francis’ ecological legacy. It is a 55-acre utopian experiment in sustainable farming, vocational training and environmental schooling for kids and CEOs alike on the grounds of the papal estate on Lake Albano.
Pope Leo XIV, who has strongly reaffirmed Francis’s focus on the need to care for God’s creation, will formally open the centre on Friday, returning to the grounds where he spent his first papal summer.
