Opus Dei

From 22 to 27 August, Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz was in Uruguay, meeting with families, young people, and those involved in educational and social initiatives. We are publishing this video summary of his visit on 20 October, the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the first members of Opus Dei in the country.

Javier Cotelo (Madrid, 1932) passed away in Rome in the early hours of 10 October 2026, at the age of 94. A numerary of Opus Dei, he knew St. Josemaría closely, accompanying him as his driver and working for many years as an architect. He was a simple, good-humoured man with great affection for others. His remains rest in the crypt of the prelatic church of Our Lady of Peace.

The Prelate is suggesting that the faithful and friends of Opus Dei pray for this intention in a special way from 2 October 2026 to 2 October 2027.

Msgr. Mariano Fazio explores St. Josemaría's vision for business schools: institutions called to unite professional excellence, the Church's social doctrine, and the sanctification of work, with the human person at the centre and a deep spirit of service.
