The mass began at 8:00 AM. Father Jan Szpilka was the Main Celebrant with all the priest and brothers of the community and members of Fr. Jordan Youth rejoicing for the Feast of the Mater Salvatoris. In particular way, the community prayed through the intercession of the Mother of the Savior for all the victims of the calamities here and abroad. The Holy Mass was also offered for all the Salvatorian communities in East Asia and in the whole world.
