100,000 people arrive in Rome for Jubilee of Confraternities and Mass at the beginning of Leo XIV’s Pontificate

The Jubilee will conclude with a profound moment of ecclesial unity: the participation of all Confraternity members, in their full ceremonial garb, at the Papal Mass on Sunday morning in St. Peter’s Square. The liturgy marks not only the end of the Jubilee but also the official beginning of Pope Leo XIV’s ministry as Bishop of Rome.
