To the members of the Circle of St. Peter, an institution that is more than 150 years old, the Pope repeated what he always says to historical institutions: that they should know how to renew themselves while maintaining their character. He said to them, “May the past serve to nourish the new generations and not become a museum piece.”
POPE FRANCIS
Memory is an organ of the future, as long as the roots are kept alive and healthy. This is why I encourage you to pass on your heritage of values and experiences to young people.
St. Peter's Circle was founded in 1869 with the aim of promoting charitable assistance in Rome.
