  Jubilee 2006

In March 2006, the Vatican Philatelic and Numismatic Office issued three stamps with portraits of St. Ignatius, St. Francis Xavier and Blessed Peter Faber.

In Sept. 2006 The Italian Post Office will issue two stamps, St. Ignatius and St. Francis Xavier. On April 22, the feast of Our Lady Mother of the Society, a Mass will be held in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The Pope, as he has done in similar occasions, will join the participants at the end of the Mass and address them. April 22 is the day suggested by Fr. General for the whole Society to join in the commemoration of the three first companions. (Letter of September 27, 2004)
