In a climate of deep emotion and reflection, the entire Academic Community of the Pontifical Salesian University gathers in prayer for the Holy Father Francesco.
During these Easter days, we entrust him in faith to the One who has conquered death, grateful for the gift he has been to the universal Church: a shepherd with a great heart, capable of embodying with humility and evangelical strength a ministry marked by humanity, courage, and tireless dedication.
Aware of the special bond that unites our University with the Apostolic See, we wish to pay tribute to the Holy Father through the celebration of a Holy Mass of suffrage, which will take place on Monday, April 28, at 12:15 PM in the Upper Church (Aula A01).
To allow the entire University Community to participate, the fourth hour of classes will end early at 12:00 PM, while the fifth hour will be suspended.
All—professors, students, staff, and friends of UPS—are warmly invited to take part in this moment of prayer and reflection, to express our filial affection and spiritual closeness to Pope Francis.
Priests attending the celebration are asked to bring a purple stole, a liturgical sign of mourning and hope in the resurrection.
