The Order of Malta’s Ambassador to the Roma people, H.E. Franz Salm-Reifferscheidt, accompanied a group of pilgrims to the Vatican for Pope Francis’ general audience for the Romani World Pilgrimage. The group consisted of over 250 pilgrims from Romania, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary.

 

The Order of Malta supports marginalised communities across the world, and runs many projects in Central and Eastern Europe promoting the education of Roma children and supporting their integration into society.
