PUBLICATIONS OF THE PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR THE LAITY

Publications by the Pontifical Council for the Laity are generally issued in Italian and, in some cases, other languages. Their contents emerge from events held by the dicastery (conferences, seminars, plenary assemblies...) that deal with the apostolate of the laity, and also Youth Section activities including the International Youth Forum and World Youth Day. Only the Notiziario-News can be obtained through subscription. All other publications are requested by using the special order form.
