Remembering Pope John Paul II: "Be Not Afraid!"

October 16, 1978.  What a great day.  We celebrated the election, life, and ministry of Blessed Pope John Paul II this past Sunday at my parish (and I hope you did at yours, too!).  I was really happy to learn today that, going forward, the memorial for the late, great Pope will be October 22 (which is also the wedding anniversary for my wife and me).
