Aloha Theopasta,

That is very nice... I think I myself very inclusive person. When I was in the Island , the Coptic community finally got their church and a monastery. I went to their Divine Liturgy . Before they got their church , they use the chapel at the Catholic convent. Now they finally got thier own chuch and a monastery ... I am very happy for them . I forgot the name of the priest ,,,,,,he is a monk.... he is very nice person... and the nicest orthodox clergy I have ever met .... I will look up thier website.. It is better to work for peace than hate and pride. If you think about it Hate and Pride have little to accomplish. My heart is a peaceful Orthodoxy.

Pope Mourned in Land That Eschewed Him

COMBINED REPORTS

As the world mourned the death of Pope John Paul II, hundreds of people came to Catholic churches in Russia - a place he could never visit - to pay their respects.

Services in memory of the pontiff were conducted in St. Petersburg Catholic churches on Sunday and will continue all week, culminating in simultaneous services as his funeral service is held in Rome on Friday, city priests said.

"The services are conducted in very many languages, including Russian, Polish, English, Italian and even Korean," Father Kshishtov, of St. Stanislav's Church, said Monday in a telephone interview.

"There are six Catholic churches in St. Petersburg," he said. "This is not that many for such a big city with a population of 5 million people as St. Petersburg is. All the churches have been full with thousands of people participating in services."

"There are from 50,000 to 60,000 Catholics in St. Petersburg," he added. "Many of them are people who came to the city from Belarus and Lithuania.

Several thousand of them often attend services."

St. Mary's conducted a service dedicated to the Pope on Sunday and will continue praying for the pontiff all week.
