Opus Dei

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.

A new website to help you prepare for the centenary of Opus Dei, bringing together everything related to the celebration in one place: core materials, resources for your spiritual life, stories from around the world, and updates on what's being planned in your own country.

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.

After nearly two years of planning, a life-sized statue of St. Josemaría sculpted by Diana García Roy now welcomes visitors to St. Joseph's Church in Singapore.

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.

Video of Msgr. Fernando Ocáriz’s visit to Honduras from 10 to 12 August. In San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa, whilst meeting with families, young people and the community at the Taular Institute of Technology, he emphasised the great value of everyday life because of the love that goes into it.

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.

The Committee’s mission is to promote initiatives for the centenary of Opus Dei, inspired by the conclusions of the 2024 Regional Assemblies, with the aim of serving each person, the Church, and society more effectively in the light of St. Josemaría’s teachings.

Here is a list of some of the Masses being celebrated in Trinidad & Tobago for the feast of Saint Josemaría Escrivá.
