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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
