Diocese of Franca to be consecrated to Saint Michael the Archangel

The Diocese of Franca will be consecrated to Saint Michael the Archangel during the 39th Hallel event, held from September 4 to 7 at the Fernando Costa Exhibition Park. The ceremony, led by Bishop Dom Paulo Roberto Beloto, will take place on Saturday, September 5, following a mass.

The event features the participation of the Hesed Institute, which is conducting a national mission titled ‘A Grande Reconquista’. This mission involves the pilgrimage of a statue of Saint Michael the Archangel from the Sanctuary of Monte Gargano in Italy. To date, 35 dioceses in Brazil have undergone this consecration process.
