At the Sunday lunch with Pope Leo, in the Paul VI Hall, on the occasion of the World Day of the Poor, there will also be about fifty transgender people, accompanied by Father Andrea Conocchia and Sister Genevieve Jeanningros.

Pope Leo thus confirms this "gesture of welcome," as Don Conocchia defines it, which began with Pope Francis.

"A heartfelt thank you to Pope Leo for this opportunity to meet and share a meal. I think it's a wonderful sign of care and closeness to the entire LGBT community," emphasized Don Andrea, parish priest of Torvaianica, in an interview with ANSA.
