The beatification of Archbishop Eduard Profittlich, which will take place on 17 May 2025 in Tallinn's Town Hall Square, the place where Pope John Paul II consecrated the Missal in 1993, is a historic moment of love for the Catholic Church in Estonia.

This extraordinary event invites us all to celebrate with dignity and unity the life, faith and love of one man in Christ and to pay homage to his martyrdom and, as sacred theology says, martyrdom is the highest form of holiness!

Such a celebration, however, requires considerable human and material resources: the organisation of the Holy Mass in Town Hall Square, the preparation of the entire venue, logistics, the reception of pilgrims, marketing, the broadcasting of the event on ETV, as well as the costs associated with the solemn liturgy, etc. The list could go on and on.

In addition to the Blessed Sacrament ceremony, we also want to complete the fitting-out of the crypt chapel in St Peter and Paul Cathedral, which, after the Blessed Sacrament, will be the first new chapel in the world dedicated to the Blessed Virgin (with a museum section). This is our gift to Archbishop Eduard Profittlich, who so loved our church here in Maryland.

Today, we appeal to your generosity to help make this a day to remember. Your donation, however small, is a precious stone in the spiritual edifice we are now building together. Every contribution will help to make this event accessible to all and will bear witness to the vitality of our faith.

By making a donation, you are not only supporting the practical organisation of the event, but you are also participating spiritually. It is a way of saying "yes" to the light that Archbishop Profittlich carried and that we are called to pass on in turn.

Together, let us give glory to God by honouring the memory of this great witness of faith..

We thank you in advance for your generosity and entrust the preparation of this blessing to your prayers. Thank you to all the people who have already contributed to the process over the years. It has borne fruit and is now coming to fruition!

God bless you abundantly.

On 18 December 2024, His Holiness Pope Francis gave permission for the beatification of Archbishop Eduard Profittlich SJ (1890-1942). The beatification will take place on 17 May 2025, according to the confirmation of the Holy See. The Pope´s representative Cardinal Christoph Schönborn will beatifiy Archbishop Eduard Profittlich during the Holy Mass in Tallinn Town Hall Square. The Mass is scheduled to begin at 11.00.

This will be a historic event for the entire Diocese of Tallinn, for Estonia and for the Estonian people. Archbishop Eduard Profittlich, following the Pope's suggestion, remaining true to himself and to God, he decided to share the common destiny of so many Estonians. He stayed in Estonia with the people and the Church he loved so much, even though he had the opportunity to leave for  Germany, but he remained faithful to his vocation and to God to the end. This, however, led to his martyrdom in Kirov prison in Soviet Russia.

More programme and practical information in the coming days for the beatification.

To The Most Reverend Philippe Jourdan Bishop of Tallinn

With fond memories of my Apostolic Journey to your country in 2018, I send heartfelt greetings, together with the assurance of my spiritual closeness, to you and the entire Catholic community on the happy occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the creation of the Apostolic Administration of Estonia, recently raised to the level of a Diocese.

This significant milestone in your history marks a century of steadfast fidelity to the Catholic faith, which has enabled this small yet vibrant Church to be a source of compassion and spiritual nourishment for countless men and women across the nation. At the same time, this anniversary commemorates unwavering hope and trust in the Lord through decades of suffering, occupation and oppression.
