Vatican City, Sep 26, 2004 / 22:00 pm
Pope John Paul II will return to the Vatican on Wednesday, September 29 from Castelgandolfo, thus ending the summer season.
The Pope thanked the director and employees of the pontifical villas at Castelgandolfo for their "commitment and fidelity" in carrying out their tasks.
"As I return to the Vatican," he said, "I will take with me the memory of the peaceful and restful days which I spent at the villa, thanks to your help. I count on your prayers and, on my part, I assure you that I will always pray that the Lord may always accompany you with His help."
