Guide. to Papal Visit published

A Million copies of a handbook including hymns, prayers and articles about the Pope's visit will be distributed to parishes across Britain, the Roman Catholic Church said yesterday.   

 

The publication will provide the words of liturgy and hymns for public events involving Pope Benedict during his four-day trip to Scotland and England next month. He is to begin his trip in Edinburgh on 16 September where he will meet the Queen.   

Susan Boyle to sing for the Pope 

Susan Boyle will sing for crowds at Bellahouston Park as they wait for Pope Benedict XVI to celebrate Mass, it was confirmed today.

The Britain’s Got Talent star will sing the hymn “How great thou art” as well as her signature song “I Dreamed a Dream” before the Mass starts at about 5.15pm.

Following a hymn at the end of the Mass, she will sing a farewell song to Pope Benedict as he leaves the park to travel to Glasgow Airport for his flight to London.
