Vatican City, Dec 18, 2003 / 22:00 pm
The Press Office of the Holy See is celebrating its 50 anniversary, and a special Christmas Mass will be celebrated in the Basilica of San Lorenzo for journalists.
The famous “Sala Stampa” was created by Pope Pious XII in 1953 to offer assistance to journalists who come from all over the world to cover the activities of the Holy Father and the events of the Holy See.
A round-table discussion will be held to mark the anniversary with the Prefect for the Congregation for Bishops, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the director of the Holy See Press Office, Joaquin Navarro-Valls and other distinguished journalists.
