Up to 10,000 worshippers overflow the Church of the Byzantine Rosary -- a converted bottling plant -- during one of Rossi's masses. During each service Padre Marcelo steps off the 12-foot altar to parade through the aisles with a giant monstrance holding a wafer of bread believed to be spiritually transformed into the body of Christ. Rossi's youthful energy attracts both young and old to his services. His daily radio broadcasts reach millions more throughout the world's largest Catholic country.
