Pope Francis’ Holy Mass (29/09/2024)


Pope Francis is visiting Belgium from September 26 to 29, 2024 on the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the KU Leuven and the UCLouvain.
On Sunday, September 29, he will preside over the Eucharist at the King Baudouin Stadium.

Access to the Eucharist is totally free, but for security reasons each participant must purchase a ticket: 

TICKETS

The stadium will be open on Sunday September 29 from 6 am on.
All participants must be seated by 8.30 am at the latest.
Come as early as possible, because it takes time to fill a large stadium like the King Baudouin Stadium.

The mass will end at noon and it will take 2 hours before everyone has been able to leave the stadium in an orderly fashion and in compliance with security and safety standards.

For people with reduced mobility, all the places have been allocated and it is no longer possible to apply for a place(s).
They will, however, be able to follow the Mass at the Koekelberg Basilica, on a large screen if they so wish.
Prior registration will be required.
Practical details will be communicated during the week of 16 September.

We strongly recommend using public transport: train, metro (stations Heysel and Houba-Brugmann – line 6) and bus, as the car parks around the stadium have limited capacity and are not in the immediate vicinity of the stadium.

For general information on accessibility to the King Baudouin stadium, please visit the Access & Transport page.

Safety and security instructions must be strictly observed by everyone to ensure the good order of the celebration and the security of the Holy Father and VIP guests.
Big backpacks and handbags are not permitted.
Everyone must carry an identity card or passport.
Otherwise, access to the stadium will be denied.
The leader of a group must also carry the list of the members of his/her group.
