226 members of the 35th General Congregation process into the
Gesu (Jesus, in Italian) for the opening liturgy of the Congregation. |

| The
principal celebrant was Cardinal Franc Rodé, former Archbishop
of the church of Slovenia and currently Pro-Prefect of Congregation
for Institutes of the Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic
Life. He was flanked by Father General Kolvenbach (left) and Father
Frank Case (Oregon Province) (right), Secretary of the Society. |

At the end of Mass, Fr.
Kolvenbach processed
to the side altar where St. Ignatius of Loyola is buried. The very
large painting in the niche above the altar was gradually lowered
in silence and revealing behind it the magnificent baroque silver
statue of St. Ignatius. |
