The Royal and Venerable Confraternity of the Most Blessed Sacrament of Mafra is looking for donations for the Pontifical Coronation of Our Lady of Soledade, whose celebration will take place on September 17, 2023, in the Basilica of Mafra.
In December 2020, Pope Francis granted the Royal and Venerable Confraternity of the Most Blessed Sacrament of Mafra the honor of the Pontifical Coronation of the Image of Our Lady of Soledade, a ceremony bestowed on Portugal on only three occasions – the first to Our Lady of Sameiro, in 1904, and the second to Our Lady of Fátima, in 1946.

The respective event was scheduled for this year, just in time for the commemoration of the 375th anniversary of the elevation of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Patroness of Portugal, however it had to be postponed to 2023.
This way, the Confraternity seeks donations in cash or metal to cover the expenses associated with the manufacture of the crown for the canonical coronation of the pontifical character of the image of Our Lady of Solitude.
All donations must be made until August so that, in the following month, the making the crown can begin. When it comes to metal donations, donors should contact the Confraternity. Cash can be donated through IBAN PT50 5200 5200 0001 5108 0019 8.
