Below are the links for the different events of Prof. Albert J. Alos's interment.
From 22 to 27 August 2026, Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz was in Uruguay, just a few months before the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the first members of Opus Dei in the country. He met with families, young people, and individuals from a range of educational and social initiatives. The chronicle, photographs, and videos capture some moments from those days.
26 June is the feast of Saint Josemaría. Masses will be celebrated in many cities and towns around Nigeria.
Pedro Ballester was born on 22 May. On his birthday, we are sharing a prayer asking God for favours through his intercession, available in over 25 languages.
He was the oldest member of Opus Dei, having lived his vocation in the Work for just over 86 years, and the last of those who had requested admission in the 1930s. He died in Rome, and his remains rest in the crypt of the prelatic church of Our Lady of Peace.
Prof. Albert Alos died in Lagos on 5 September 2026, at the age of 86. Born in Barcelona, he was one of the first numeraries to bring Opus Dei to Nigeria, and he spent the next fifty-nine years there, quietly living out that vocation through a long career in education.
After visiting the patroness of Honduras, the Prelate of Opus Dei met with young people from all over the country and encouraged them not to be afraid to live the faith in their environments and to discover how worthwhile it is to seek — and to find — Jesus Christ.
The 81st issue, from June-December 2025, marks the 40th anniversary of “Romana.” The official bulletin of the Prelature of Opus Dei was published for the first time in 1986, reporting on the year 1985.

17,000 people, 50 countries, 13 languages, and nearly 2,000 hours of shared reflection: that was the response to our call to “renovate the house” together as this website turns 30. Here are our main findings from the survey in April.
