O arcebispo Dominique Lebrun, de Rouen, e o arcebispo Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, de Reims, presidente da conferência dos bispos franceses, estarão presentes, segundo a mídia local. O ministro do Interior da França, Gérald Darmanin, também deve comparecer à cerimônia.
Uma procissão silenciosa às 10h será seguida por uma missa na igreja local às 10h30, anunciou a diocese.
“É bom que autoridades civis e religiosas, e cidadãos, crentes de todas as religiões e não crentes, se reúnam para demonstrar sua recusa comum a qualquer violência e seu profundo respeito pela vida humana”, disse a diocese. Agradeceu “a todos que participam direta ou indiretamente, por meio de oração e comprometimento neste quarto aniversário”.
Pe. Hamel foi morto durante a celebração da Missa em 26 de julho de 2016, depois que dois homens armados invadiram sua igreja em Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, na Normandia.
Os agressores entraram na igreja e levaram o padre de 85 anos e quatro outros reféns. A polícia local informou que a garganta do padre foi cortada no ataque e que os dois seqüestradores foram mortos a tiros pela polícia. Os atacantes foram identificados como extremistas islâmicos.
As notícias da morte de Hamel chocaram o mundo. Sua missa fúnebre contou com a presença de milhares, incluindo funcionários do governo e representantes das comunidades judaica e muçulmana. No funeral, pe. A irmã de Hamel, Roselyne, falou sobre sua misericórdia e amor, dizendo que ele se recusou a se tornar um oficial durante seu serviço militar na Argélia colonial, para que ele não tivesse que ordenar que outros matassem.
Em outubro de 2016, o Papa Francisco renunciou ao tradicional período de espera de cinco anos para abrir a causa de beatificação de Hamel.
Uma campanha lançada pelo capítulo italiano da fundação pontifícia Aid to the Church in Need se comprometeu a apoiar os estudos de 1.000 seminaristas em todo o mundo, em homenagem a Hamel.
