Parish priest Fr. Alfonso Di Giovanni
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
On April 21, Pope Francis went to be with his heavenly Father. We have all experienced the day of his death and funeral with great grief. Especially since he visited us, in Tallinn, six years ago. With his death, a special time began in the Church, which is called Sede Vacante, meaning we currently do not have a Pope and we are waiting for the election of a new Pope.
Therefore, the Holy See announced on April 22 that all planned beatification and canonization ceremonies will be suspended until a new Pope is elected. Only then will the new Pope confirm the canonizations or beatifications ceremonies.
All could can confession before the Holy Week on Friday, 11. aprill 2025 in St. Peter and St. Paul Cathedral. Our priests are taking confessions in several languages. Holy week programm for 2025 is here: HOLY WEEK 2025.
