Brace yourselves for an extraordinary event as September 2024 marks the commencement of a 15-month celebration at the iconic Catalan religious mountain, Montserrat.

This momentous occasion will kickstart a series of religious, cultural, and social activities that will captivate visitors until December 8, 2025, as announced by Manel Gasch, the esteemed abbot of Montserrat.

In an exquisite gathering, hundreds of abbots and monks from across the globe will convene at Montserrat, adding to the grandeur of the festivities.

Prepare to be mesmerized as a video mapping spectacle premieres in the Basilica of Santa Maria, accompanied by a documentary film shedding light on the lifestyle of monks in Montserrat and the essence of monastic life in the 21st century.

Among the celebrations, a music festival will take centre stage, featuring various exhibitions and fifteen captivating concerts.

 One extraordinary exhibition will embark on a global journey, showcasing Montserrat’s millennial history and its profound impact on society.

Manel and the entire Montserrat community are dedicated to preserving the mountain as a hub for language, heritage conservation, business, institutional cooperation, and scholarly pursuits.

Bernat Juliol, the commissioner of the festivities, expressed their commitment to sustainability, highlighting Montserrat’s longstanding efforts in favour of environmental preservation.

In a remarkable testament to the magnitude of this event, even Pope Francis himself has received an invitation to grace the celebration with his presence – an opportunity you simply cannot afford to miss.

Mark your calendars and prepare to immerse yourself in an extraordinary celebration that transcends mere religious significance, embracing the rich tapestry of Catalan culture, sustainable practices, and the enduring spirit of Montserrat.
