April 15 - 20, 2008
St. John's University marks Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the
United States with a weeklong calendar of activities and outward
signs of unity with the leader of our Catholic faith.
“St. John’s will be united in prayer with the Holy Father as he
makes his first Papal visit to the United States,” says Pamela
Shea-Byrnes, D.Min., Vice President for University Ministry and
University Events. “His visit connects the American Catholic Church
to the Universal Church and emphasizes that we are one, holy,
catholic and apostolic, that we have a tradition of faith that he
represents.”
