Mass at Christ the Redeemer

The Holy Mass is the pinnacle of Catholic faith — a sacred moment of encounter, prayer, and surrender to God. Celebrating the Eucharist at the feet of Christ the Redeemer is to unite faith and beauty in one of the most iconic settings in the world — a true open-air altar.

In this sacred and welcoming space, the Sanctuary of Christ the Redeemer opens its doors for Masses of thanksgiving, special intentions, or tributes to loved ones, such as the traditional Seventh-Day and Thirtieth-Day Memorial Masses. Each celebration is conducted with pastoral care, deep reverence, and spiritual devotion.
