Many happy returns, Chiesa dei Miracoli!
Sunday April 26 – The celebrations for the first centenary of the presence of the Betharramite Religious in the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, in Rome, have come to an end.
On Friday evening the miraculous image of Our Lady was carried in procession along the Via del Corso from St. James Church to the church that was “the guest of honour”, Santa Maria dei Miracoli.
Here a large number of faithful took part in the Eucharistic Concelebration presided over by Mgr Matteo Zuppi, surrounded by all the Betharram Fathers present in Rome, led by the Superior General Fr Gaspar Fernandez. The bishop expressed his gratitude to the Betharramite Community for the pastoral work carried out in Rome for a century.
On Saturday a conference was organized where religious and lay people described the pastoral work of the Betharramites in different shrines and gave new inputs for the future. In the evening there was a big concert of Marian Hymns performed by 80 professional singers.
To go out in style, on Sunday morning all gathered in St Peter’s square to join the prayer of the Regina Coeli with Pope Francis.
