This visit of His Holiness Pope Peter III was to participate at a Eucharistic, Marian and Josephine Congress which was itself a great success, undertaken with great devotion and piety by the Palmarian faithful who were present. At this Congress His Holiness spoke to the faithful, among other matters, of the importance of spiritual reading, so necessary to reach holiness. He also spoke about the need for religious vocations.
For the first time in the history of the Catholic Church there was an altar prepared in honour of the souls of Limbo.

During the sacred processions with the images of the Most Holy Virgin Mary and Most Holy Joseph, the Holy Father, Peter III, made a stop in front of this altar and all those present prayed in benefit of these souls. Similarly, there was an altar prepared especially in honour of the Holy Souls of Purgatory and the corresponding prayers were recited there to alleviate the affliction of these suffering souls.
