Give impetus to the ecclesial commitment of the lay faithful in the task of the New Evangelisation

Message of His Holiness John Paul II
“His Holiness John Paul II cordially greets the participants of the II Assembly of the International Forum of Catholic Action, which is being celebrated in the city of Buenos Aires on the theme “Christ the Saviour yesterday, today and always. In dialogue with God, in the Church, with the world and cultures”.
He raises his prayer that the Lord will make the work of this meeting, destined to give impetus to the ecclesial commitment of the lay faithful in the task of the New Evangelisation at the gates of the Third Christian Millennium, very fruitful.
While imploring the Holy Spirit to pour out His gifts abundantly
upon all the assistants, the Holy Father imparts with affection the Apostolic Blessing”.
