The Vatican cricket team has begun its "Light of Faith" UK tour, playing two matches over the weekend in Buckinghamshire.
On 28 June, the Vatican cricket team clashed with the England Seniors, Joseph Tulloch writes for Vatican News.
The Vatican cricket team, also known as St. Peter’s Cricket Club, is made up of priests, deacons and seminarians studying in Rome. Established in 2014, the team is sponsored by the Dicastery for Culture and Education.
It was formed to promote ties between the Catholic Church and countries and parts of the world where cricket is popular, such as India and the Caribbean. The team’s objectives include reaching out to other Christian denominations and inter-faith communities, as well as giving witness to their Catholic priesthood, notes Wikipedia.
