Archbishop Rino Fisichella, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization, authorizes use of the Dicastery of Evangelization Logo for PAC27.
As part of the ongoing preparations for PAC27, the Pan American Confraternity Gathering scheduled for 2027 in Ottawa, a formal request for a private audience with the Holy Father has now been submitted to the Prefecture of the Papal Household.
The letter, dated February 22, the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, was prepared by the PAC27 organizing team in consultation with several members of the Jubilee33 Core Team. It reflects the shared discernment that has guided our journey toward the Jubilee and offers a concise summation of how Our Lady has led this mission from its beginnings to the present moment.
The request invites the Holy Father to offer a live video livestream appearance for PAC27 — a moment of unity and encouragement for the faithful of North, Central, and South America as we walk together toward the Church’s Jubilee in 2033.
We now entrust this request to the discernment of the Holy Father and his household, confident that Our Lady continues to guide every step of this mission.
To support collaborators, bishops, confraternities, shrines, and apostolates across the Americas, we are making the PAC27 Brief publicly available. This document provides:
We invite all the faithful to join us in prayer for this intention and for the continued unfolding of PAC27. May Our Lady guide every step as we prepare for this historic gathering in the heart of Canada’s capital.
