Florida Catholic Web special for Pope’s visit debuts

Posted: 04.01.08

A special Web presentation covering the visit of Pope Benedict’s XVI to the United States is now online. Over the next two weeks, we will be working to keep our readers informed with background articles, advance stories on how Floridians and others are preparing for this historic journey and, upon the pope’s arrival, near “real-time” coverage of his activities and events from Washington and New York.

Prior to the pope’s arrival, new information and articles will be posted here daily. During the pope’s visit, our site will be updated frequently throughout each day.

In addition to the resources of Catholic News Service, Florida Catholic writers and photographers will be on hand in Washington and New York to bring you a Catholic perspective online as well as in the print editions.

Associate publisher Chris Gunty and photographer Daniel Soñé will report from Washington, and writer Karen Osborne and Web Content Editor and photojournalist Ed Foster Jr. will be providing coverage from New York.

If you are planning on traveling to either city to take part in the activities and events associated with the pope’s visit, drop us a note and let us know. Whenever possible, we would like to include local perspectives. You may contact us here.
