Pope Benedict announces African Synod October 2009

In St. Peter's today, during his homily at the Mass marking the end of the Synod of Bishops on the word of God, Pope Benedict announced an African Synod to take place October 2009 and that in preparation he would be visiting Cameroon, probably in March. He repeated the information during the Angelus at noon.

Another eventful week, vastly more so for him than for us.

All the more reason for a final nudge re. the All Saints' bouquet which I'll administer this Thursday 30th October.. My dearest wish is that a priest would write in and offer a Mass. On va prier, on va voir.

God bless all here,
In Christo pro Papa

Gladly will I offer Holy Mass for the Holy Father and his intentions! Do you have a particular date in mind?

father mark:

Thank you so much for this. The date is of course up to you. The Bouquet will be sent on Friday afternoon so possibly tomorrow or Thursday given the time difference. On the other hand if you'd prefer it to be All Saints or Holy Souls, we could just say, 'Holy Mass will be offered by.....'

I'll await your instructions.
