HIS HOLINESS POPE BENEDICT IN PAPHOS

pope-1.jpgHis Holiness Pope Benedict will be welcomed to Ayia Kiriaki Church at 3pm, Friday, 4th June together with the President of Cyprus, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and Archbishop of Cyprus and their attendants.

Father John is preparing a suitable program for this historic and momentous event which will be submitted to the Vatican Delegation on their return to Cyprus in March 2010 to finalise the itinerary for the Pope’s visit.

Prayers for Father John

Father John has suffered a stroke and is in Bethlehem receiving physiotherapy. Thankfully he is recovering well albeit somewhat slower than the parishioners would wish for. Father Jim Kennedy is our visiting priest and we extend our warm welcome. Thank your all for your prayers and support.
