The Vatican cricket team is en route to London for its tenth Light of Faith tour.

This year's edition will see the Vatican take on England Over 60s, St Marys University and, in a highly anticipated match at Windsor Castle, the Kings XI.

Friendship, unity, hope

This is the tenth Light of Faith tour of the team since its foundation in 2014. Previous destinations included Portugal, Italy, Argentina, Kenya, Malta, Spain and the United Kingdom.

The purpose of this year's journey is, as always, to promote the dialogue and friendship between the Catholic Church and the host country. A message on the social media pages of the team speaks of “spreading the message of friendship, unity and gospel.”

The emphasis is also on the fact that the players, all seminarists and priests are located in Rome, are ambassadors for the Catholic priesthood.

As the team's director, Father Eamonn O'Higgins, reminded the team at a pre-departure meeting in Rome, for many of them they are likely to be the only Catholic priests they will ever meet.

Sports: a bridge in dark times

The Vatican Team Officially The Vatican (St. Peters) Cricket Team is part of Athletica Vaticana, an umbrella organization that brings together all Vatican athletes.

Earlier this year, Pope Francis spoke Thank you Athletica Vaticana for her commitment to promoting brotherhood, inclusiveness and solidarity, and for witnessing the Christian faith among sports women and men.
