Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

Cardinal Prefect celebrates Mass in Rome to commemorate 10th Anniversary













Dear Friends,

On the 22 of February 2011 we commemorated the 10th anniversary of the Pontifical Recognition of the Heralds of the Gospel given by late Pope John Paul II in 2001.

Cardinal Antonio Canizares, Prefect of the Congregation for the Divine Liturgy and the discipline of the Sacraments presided the Eucharist celebrated on this occasion at the Church of the Heralds of the Gospel, St Benedetto in Piscinula, Rome. In his homily the Cardinal encouraged all our members and friends to continue our mission of announcing Christ in our world with our characteristical enthusiasm.

I was very pleased to be there and I had the opportunity to pray for all of you in various significant places in Rome but in particular in the historical Coliseum where so many martyrs gave their lives to uphold the faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ, the same faith that, do to the heroism of those martyrs of the beginning of the Church, we have received today and will last till the end of times.

Sincerely yours,
In Jesus and Mary
