The next great Frank la Rocca Mass commission by Archbishop Cordileone will be: A Requiem for Pope Benedict XVI celebrated in 2027, the 100th anniversary of Pope Benedict’s birth and the 5th anniversary of his death. A conference at St. Patrick’s Seminary June 1-4, 2027 will bring together major prelates who served with him, artists inspired by him, and scholars who study him to explore and honor Pope Benedict XVI’s legacy.
In 2022, Pope Francis called on all the Americas to spend 9 years preparing for the 500th anniversary of Our Lady’s appearance. As a response, Archbishop Cordileone is launching a major new initiative Project Guadalupe 2031, bringing new celebrations of Frank La Rocca’s Mass of the Americas to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, as well as a major home enthronement of Our Lady of Guadalupe’s image, bringing more souls to Christ through devotion to His Mother, Our Lady of Guadalupe
