“Witnesses of Hope”

The Directorate of Telecommunications and Information Systems’ Post and Philately Service has launched a series of initiatives in preparation for Jubilee 2025, including the issue of four stamps dedicated to people whose exemplary lives and message of faith, have made them stand out as “witnesses of hope”, the opening of a new post office in Saint Peter’s Square and an increase in the number of current staff involved in the creation of new stamps. We spoke with Father Felice Bruno, Office Manager of the Post and Philately Service, about these news developments, in the following interview with www.vaticanstate.va.
