70 countries.
The Mass will also honor the life of the its
founder, father Luigi Giussani, who died seven years ago. In fact, recently the
Archbishop of Milan, was asked to begin the investigation process that may lead to the beatification of Giussani. That stage includes a series of testimonies and confirmation that a miracle was performed through his intercession.
