June 26th is the anniversary of Saint Josemaría's death in 1975 and is now his feastday.

Opus Dei is a personal prelature of the Catholic Church. It was founded in 1928 by Saint Josemaría Escrivá. It seeks "to spread the message that all men and women are called to the fullness of Christian life and to bear witness to Jesus Christ in the fulfillment of their ordinary lives, especially through their work." This site does an excellent job of explaining the prelature and its works, as well as providing related resources.
