He chose the name Johe-Paul II and was invested with the Pallium, the symbol of his Papal Office. His pontificate was solemnly inaugurated October 22, 1978 in ceremonies at St. Peter's Square, attended by more than 250,000 people. (1997 Catholic Almanac, page 107) "SHEPHERD OF HIS FLOCK" In June of 1997 it was estimated that Pope John Paul II had held more than 25,000 audiences both private and public. At that time he had also hosted approximately 7 million people at his weekly audiences. His documents, sermons and speeches are a record for a Pope and continues to grow. The Vatican's own publishing house can not keep up and is three years behind. The Pope's verbal an written production in 1994 took up 36 volumes and 63,639 pages. He has done his speeches in more languages than his predecessors would have dreamed of. One year he sent Easter Greetings in 57 languages and has deliver speeches in at least nine of those languages.(Wow) He has appointed at least 147 Cardinals which is more than any Pope in office. Pope Pius VI appointed 139 during his tenure. He The Pope has Canonized more than 250 and Beatified more than 700 people. This is more than all 20th century Popes. He has travel like no other Pope in history, he broke the 620,000 mile mark in 1995 and had 6 more trips planed in 1997. The total number of countries visted by the Pope is over 120 countries more than any pervious Pope. This is really staying in touch with his flock. (some of top text, Catholic Twin Circle, June of 1997) You might hear some people say he is to far away from all Catholics to know or care about what goes on in our churches. Did you know that every five years a Bishop has to go to Rome and meet personally with the Pope and the heads of various Vatican Offices. They are expected to visit the tombs of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Bishop Edward O'Donnell (our Bishop) along with 20 other bishops from this area went on their "Ad Limina" trip in April of 1998. Bishop O'Donnell was permitted to present to the Pope the three seminarians from Lafayette,LA. who were studying in Rome. They are Bryce Sibley, Deacon Paul Broussard and Corey Hayes. Deacon Paul Broussard was ordained a priest in June of 1998 and is now, our Associate Pastor.
