International Eucharistic Congress closing events: procession and Papal Mass
The Sovereign Order of Malta participated in the two great closing events of the International Eucharistic Congress: the Eucharistic Procession on Saturday and the closing Mass on Sunday, which was celebrated by His Holiness Pope Francis.
Our President, Kristóf Szabadhegÿ read one of the Prayers of the Faithful after the Creed.
We note also that our newly-inducted Magistral Chaplain, Father Balázs Martos-Levente, Rector of the Central Seminary, served as interpreter for the Holy Father during his meetings with Hungarian State authorities, Hungarian bishops and representatives of other faith communities. Father Balázs reported on his impressions in an interview with Magyar Kurír, which can be read (in Hungarian only) clicking here.
Attached is a photo gallery consisting mostly of photos of special interest to the Order. Fuller photo galleries of the Saturday procession and of the Sunday Papal Mass can be seen by clicking here and here respectively.
