Archbishop Paul Pezzi, of Moscow, and Bishop Javier Echevarría, Prelate of Opus Dei, celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving on November 4 in the Cathedral of Moscow for the recent beatification of Alvaro del Portillo.
Attending the Mass were many faithful who take part in the means of formation offered by Opus Dei. The Archbishop of Moscow also blessed an icon with an image of Blessed Alvaro. At the end of the Mass, the faithful had the opportunity to venerate a relic of the first successor of Saint Josemaria.

"The apostolic work that the people of Opus Dei are carrying out in Moscow and Saint Petersburg," the Archbishop said, "is quite beautiful and constructive for the diocese."
