Opus Dei

The Virgin Mary left Nazareth and travelled to Capernaum with some other members of the family. The group arrived at a house where Jesus was surrounded by a crowd of disciples.

18 members of Opus Dei were ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Fernando José Castro Aguayo, Bishop of Margarita (Venezuela). The ceremony took place at the Basilica of Saint Eugune (Rome).
