| Pope Francis makes an apostolic visit to Tallinn, Estonia, on Tuesday, September 25, 2018. He will celebrate Mass in the afternoon, but the exact schedule of the Mass will not be announced until August for security reasons. A group from our Parish, which goes to that event, joins a bigger group of Catholics from St. Henry's and St. Mary's parishes. Registration: All who want to participate in the Papal Mass are requested to register no later than July 15 by e-mailing Saint Mary’s Parish in Helsinki ([email protected]) |  Click to open a pdf file with details of the trip. |
