From now until April 27, members of the “JPII generation,” and others who were impacted by Venerable Pope John Paul II, can submit a message that will be brought to the late Pope's tomb during his Beatification on May 1.
The Knights of Columbus are collecting the letters through the website HeadlineBistro.com. After April 27, they will be printed and brought to the Pope's resting place in the Vatican by Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson.
The head of the Knights of Columbus will be attending the ceremony along with a delegation from the Supreme Council of the fraternal and charitable organization.
Matthew St. John, a spokesman for the Knights, told CNA on Feb. 28 that the idea originated with Anderson himself.
