‘Maria, symbol of hope and consolation’ is the leitmotif of the 2023 Octave and will be at the centre of the sermon of speaker Renée Schmit.

On the first Octave Sunday, mass will be broadcasted from the Herrenberg military HQ. Both remaining masses will be broadcasted from the Luxembourg City Cathedral and can be followed live on cathol.lu.
