Canonisation of Two Popes

The Canonisation of Popes John XXIII and John Paul II - Shepherds, Servants and Saints

One of the most awaited and significant moments in the history of the Catholic Church – the canonisation of two Popes – John Paul II and John XXIII on Sunday’s feast of Divine Mercy (28 April 2014). The root of both Popes’ spirituality precisely highlights God’s kindness and mercy. These two figures are the role models of all Christians particularly for youths.

Kuala Lumpur Archdiocese of Single Adults and Youth Office (ASAYO) has produced a short video clip within 9 minutes in celebration of the Canonisation of these two Popes. Please do feel free to view it with your friends and families during this weekend.

Please find the location of the file to be downloaded.
