Occasion and source notes
Saturday celebrations only within the decree’s stated period. The cathedral and international shrine are the same church.
The cathedral publishes the complete institutional English translation. The decree was issued on 27 February 2026 but states a celebration period beginning 6 December 2025. These routes concern the cathedral; they do not establish conditions for the separate 25-church diocesan programme. This card follows the cathedral’s published translation; the original Latin has not been inspected.
