The Postal and Philatelic Service of the Directorate of Telecommunications and Information Systems of the Governorate announces the closure of its sales points in the Vatican on Thursday, June 19, in observance of the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ [Feast of Corpus Christi], and on Friday, June 20, a cultural field day is organized for the Postal Staff.
