Vatican City, May 8, 2005 / 22:00 pm
Earlier today, the Vatican announced that Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, would preside at the beatification Mass for Ascension Nicol Goni, virgin and co-foundress of the Dominican Missionary Sisters of the Rosary and Marianne Cope, virgin, of the Sisters of St. Francis, Syracuse, U.S.A.
The announcement comes from the Office of the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff, and noted that Cardinal Martins “will read the Apostolic Letter with which the Supreme Pontiff has inscribed” the two women “in the book of Blesseds.”
The celebration will take place at the Vatican on May 14th, on the solemnity of Pentecost.
