Concerto in onore del Beato Albino Luciani, il Papa del sorriso

We invite you to take part in a moment of deep reflection and spirituality on the occasion of the Holy Mass dedicated to Blessed Giovanni Paolo I.

The celebration will be a unique opportunity to remember the life and spiritual legacy of this great pope, through words, music, and testimonies.

During the Holy Mass, the Castion Choir will accompany the liturgy with evocative musical interventions, creating an atmosphere of intense participation and contemplation.

The voices of the choir will guide the faithful on an emotional journey that unites devotion, harmony, and beauty.

Enhancing the day will be the contribution of Loris Serafini, director of the Albino Luciani Museum in Canale d'Agordo, a scholar and archivist who has passionately dedicated years to preserving and enhancing the memory of the Blessed.

With personal memories and testimonies, he will recount significant moments from Giovanni Paolo I's life, offering reflections and inspiration for all present.

The celebration takes on a special meaning as it marks the anniversary of the death (September 28, 1978) of Blessed Albino Luciani, the Pope of Smiles, whose pontificate, although very brief, left an indelible mark for his humanity, simplicity, and closeness to the faithful.

Through words and memories, it will be possible to relive the values and teachings that the Blessed conveyed in those few days, making the Mass an occasion to reflect on the universal message of hope and love that he left to the Church and the world.

The celebration will be held at the Church of San Giuseppe in Borgo Pra, an intimate and secluded place that retains the charm of past communities and has always represented a spiritual reference point for the inhabitants of the village.

Situated in the heart of one of the historic neighborhoods of Belluno, the church preserves an atmosphere of simplicity and silence that invites prayer and reflection.

Its walls, witnesses of faith and tradition, will welcome the faithful in a familiar and welcoming environment, making the celebration in memory of Blessed Giovanni Paolo I even more intense.
