Author Announcement: The Most Reverend Alfred Xuereb

Meet The Most Reverend Alfred Xuereb!

Archbishop Alfred Xuereb offers a rare and deeply personal window into the life of Pope Benedict XVI, having served as one of his personal secretaries from 2007 until the end of his pontificate in 2013. In My Days with Benedict XVI, he shares intimate memories from those remarkable years, revealing the man behind the papacy through moments of faith, humour, friendship and everyday life, as well as his first-hand recollections of some of the most significant moments of Benedict XVI’s pontificate.

✨ Join us this November at the Gibunco Gibraltar Literary Festival for a truly special conversation offering a unique insight into Pope Benedict XVI from someone who knew and worked alongside him closely. From quiet moments inside the Vatican to the historic decision to resign the papacy, Archbishop Xuereb’s memories offer an extraordinary perspective on the life, character and legacy of one of the most significant religious figures of our time.

📅 Tickets and the full festival schedule will be released shortly.
