CUBA-HOLY SEE: CARD. BERTONE’S VISIT; PREPARATIONS IN FULL SWING IN SANTA CLARA AND GUANTÁNAMO (2)

After outdoor Mass, everyone will go on a procession to the See, which has just been finished and which will be unveiled by card. Bertone. The Vatican Secretary of State will also give awards to the winners of a diocesan volleyball championship dedicated to John Paul II. In the communities, a prayer specially created for the occasion is being read over these days, and a mission is being prepared all over town to invite the population to attend the event. 16 special committees have been set up to organise the event; they have been meeting and working for about two months. The diocese of Guantánamo has 203 catholic communities. (pca)
