Techno Mass Tribute to Pope Francis in Buenos Aires, DJ Priest Padre Guilherme Draws Thousands

A Portuguese priest known as DJ Padre Guilherme led a unique techno-themed “mass” in Buenos Aires’ Plaza de Mayo, paying tribute to Pope Francis nearly a year after his passing. The event drew thousands of attendees, including youth, families, and elderly participants, who danced as giant screens displayed images of the late pontiff along with symbols of peace. The priest, who blends faith and electronic music, said the initiative reflects a modern approach to religion inspired by Pope Francis’ message to “make noise” and stay close to the people.
