His Excellency Most Reverend Gabriele Giordano Caccia, D.D., Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines will lead the faithful in the celebration of Pope’s Day through a Eucharistic Celebration on Thursday, June 28, 2018 at the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception (Manila Cathedral) at 6 p.m., Vigil of the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul.

The Church celebrates Pope’s Day in honor of the Supreme Pontiff’s many contributions to the enrichment of Catholic faith.  

The Pope who is the visible head of the worldwide Catholic Church has a duty to strengthen the union of the faithful in the Church and with Christ.

Pope’s day is also celebrated through confession and recitation of the Holy Rosary. In some countries, the writings about the Pope are distributed on the street while others prepare talks, forum, and video presentation showcasing the spiritual leadership of the Holy Father.
