On Saturday, November 7, 2026, a Holy Mass presided over by the Apostolic Nuncio, H.E. Monsignor Kurian Mathew Vayalunkal, was celebrated at the Madre Admirable Church in Puente Alto, Santiago, Chile. The celebration was followed by a festive gathering to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Fraternity of St. Charles’ mission in Chile.
The mission began in 2006 at the Blessed Pietro Bonilli Parish in Puente Alto, where the Fraternity’s first priests arrived to serve the community.
During his homily, the Apostolic Nuncio recalled how, over the course of these 20 years, many priests have served in the mission in Santiago, Chile, each leaving a mark and an imprint through the proclamation of the faith. It is a story made up of faces, encounters, and testimonies—one that continues to this day.
