The Philippines will be the host country for the next International Congress of Mary Help of Christians, which will take place in 2028. The announcement was made during the closing Eucharist of the IX International Congress of Mary Help of Christians.

The next International Congress of Mary Help of Christians will take place in the Philippines in 2028, as announced by Fr Gabriel Cruz, the worldwide spiritual animator of the Association of Mary Help of Christians (ADMA), at the closing Eucharist of the IX Congress in Fatima. This will be an opportunity for the Salesian community in Asia, and particularly in the Philippines, to celebrate and strengthen their devotion to Our Lady Help of Christians.
The meeting, which will bring together religious, lay people and devotees of Mary Help of Christians, will feature a varied programme including conferences, times of prayer and Eucharistic celebrations.
The choice of the Philippines as the host country for the 2028 congress reflects the vibrant Marian devotion of that community and its importance as a centre of the Catholic faith in Asia.
