On the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the death of the Servant of God Fr. Luigi Giussani (Feb. 22, 2005) and the 41st anniversary of the pontifical recognition of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation (February 11, 1982), Masses are scheduled to be celebrated around the world, presided over by cardinals and bishops.

In Ireland, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, led us in the celebration from Donnybrook parish in Dublin.

The intention for Mass, shared with more than 200 other celebrations around the world, was:
"In grateful memory of Fr. Giussani let us ask the Lord that we may correspond with our whole lives to the invitation addressed to us by Pope Francis on October 15 to accompany him in the prophecy for peace, in the prophecy that indicates the presence of God in the poor, in the prophecy that announces the presence of God in every nation and culture".
