St.John Students Welcome Pope Benedict
Pope Benedict XVI received a welcoming message from St. John Catholic School Students during his first visit to America.
Bishop John Ricard chose the culturally diverse group of students to represent the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallhassee, Florida in a 90-second video message. The students ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade sent greetings and appreciation to the Church’s Shepherd in different languages.
