At 7pm the program of the main event started, the hall was still filling up with people coming late, about 100 buses and vans came from all around the city, and gradually all seats became occupied. The MC asked everyone to stand to sing the national anthem. Then the opening prayer was said by Prof. Roberto Andersen representing the Faculty of philosophy and theology of the state of Bahia. Several government personalities like senators, deputies and officials who could not participate at the event sent congratulatory messages that were read to the audience. Following was the Corasons Unification Choir who performed the Sound of Music. Mrs. Rosemary Correa, member of the Federal Parliament gave a powerful introductory speech for True Mother and invited everyone to unite with the activities of our movement. Then the video in Portuguese language was presented on a large screen.

She read her message: "The Path of Life for all Humankind" in English and Alejandro was simultaneously following with the Portuguese language. The speech was well received and the crowd expressed support by applauding several times. After the message one couple presented the flowers, and several personalities offered gifts representing diverse organizations like the group of Spiritual Religions, the Brazilian Association of Referees and the Deputies of the Assembly of the State of Amapa.

At the end of the program the audience was asked to remain for the Victory Celebration. Prof. Cipriani was commenting on the special relationship between True Mother and True Father when the stage was being prepared and the technical staff was arranging the telephone link between Montevideo and S? Paulo. A huge cake was quickly brought to the stage, and twelve personalities were asked to sit on the stage on each side of TP's armchairs. Then Mother came in again and talked to Father appearing on the screen. Songs were exchanged between Montevideo and S? Paulo. The public enjoyed the celebration and remained seated until the end.
