Holy Mass
On the eve of the Congress, participants are invited to celebrate Holy Mass together at the Basilica of San Bartolomeo all’Isola, a shrine dedicated to the memory of the martyrs and witnesses to the faith of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The choice of this place situates the memory of the Mexican martyrs within the universal horizon of Christian martyrdom, as we gather to entrust to God the fruits of the Congress and all its participants, alongside the witness of those who, in different countries and times, remained faithful to Christ to the end.
