Paul Badde gave an explanation of the Holy Face with details about the life of the Servant of God Domenico da Cese, Apostle of the Holy Face. Fr. Johri expressed his thanks to all those, far and near, who collaborate with the Capuchins of the shrine in spreading devotion to the Holy Face around the world, and also expressed his conviction that the shrine would be one of the principal destinations for the upcoming Holy Year of Mercy.

I am praying with all my heart that the Manoppello Shrine will be "one of the principal destinations for the upcoming Holy Year of Mercy. It would certainly be very fitting in order to help the faithful to "help rediscover the merciful Face of the Father," and “especially at a moment full of great hopes and signs of contradiction, is to introduce everyone to the great mystery of God’s mercy by contemplation of the Face of Christ” as Pope Francis has said.
