   A RELIC OF JOHN PAUL II WILL BE TAKEN TO LOURDES   
   Vatican City, 19 October 2012 (VIS) - A relic of Blessed John Paul II will be   
   transported to the French shrine of Lourdes during a pilgrimage organised by   
   UNITALSI (Italian National Union for Transport of the Sick to Lourdes and   
   International Shrines).   
   The pilgrimage is to take place from 21 to 27 October.   
   Archbishop Zygmunt Zimowski, president of the Pontifical Council for Health   
   Pastoral Care, has granted UNITALSI permission to take a reliquary containing   
   blood of John Paul II, so that it can be seen and venerated by pilgrims from   
   all over the world.   
   Speaking on Vatican Radio Salvatore Pagliuccia, president of UNITALSI, noted   
   that we currently are in the Year of Faith, and the Synod of Bishops is   
   meeting to examine the question of new evangelisation, "a theme very close to   
   John Paul II's heart".   
   That Pope's "influence is still felt in the Church and among the faithful", he   
   said. Thus, "the presence of the reliquary of the blessed on the pilgrimage is   
   a very significant sign, because it represents the presence of his ideas and   
   his sentiments,   
   above all the presence of the love which, as man and as pastor, he gave to   
   people, to the faithful, and in particular to the sick and those with   
   disabilities".

   INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF SACRED MUSIC AND ART TO BE DEDICATED TO THE YEAR OF   
   FAITH   
   Vatican City, 19 October 2012 (VIS) - The eleventh edition of the   
   International Festival of Sacred Music and Art - which takes place during the   
   autumn in Rome's patriarchal basilicas and in the Vatican - is to be dedicated   
   to the Year of Faith.   
   The festival serves to promote the activities of the "Fondazione pro Musica e   
   Arte Sacra", an organisation presided by Hans-Albert Courtial which has the   
   mission of restoring the artistic treasures contained in the patriarchal   
   basilicas, and ensuring   
   that sacred music continues to be played there.   
   This year's programme includes seven concerts due to take place between 2 and   
   13 November. The first will be the Requiem Mass of Giovanni Sgambati to be   
   performed by the Roman "Sinfonietta" Orchestra in the basilica of St. Ignatius   
   of Loyola. In the   
   same basilica on Wednesday 7 November the Orchestra of Rome's "Teatro   
   dell'Opera" will play Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 7. On 11 November a   
   private concert will take place in the Vatican at which the Sistine Chapel   
   Choir will sing the "Missa Anno   
   Santo", composed by the Pope's brother Msgr. Georg Ratzinger. On the same day   
   in the basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, the Johann-Rosenmuller-Ensemble   
   will perform Claudio Monteverdi's "Vespers of the Blessed Virgin Mary". On 12   
   November a concert   
   will take place in the papal basilica of St. Mary Major with a performance of   
   "Polyphony of the Roman School" by the Sistine Chapel Choir, and "Six   
   Centuries of Catholic Choral Music from the British Isles" by the Westminster   
   Cathedral Choi   
    r. On   
   13 November, the Westminster Cathedral Choir conducted by Martin Baker will   
   sing during a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica celebrated by Cardinal Angelo   
   Comastri. Also on 13 November, the festival will come to an end with a concert   
   at the papal basilica of   
   St. Paul's Outside-the-Walls at which the Wiener Philharmoniker Chamber   
   Orchestra will play a programme of music by Mozart.   
   Commenting on the coming festival Cardinal Comastri, who is honorary president   
   of the "Fondazione pro Musica e Arte Sacra", said: "This a music born of the   
   faith, and thus a music which also attracts to the faith. All art in the   
   Church is, in fact,   
   nothing other than an expression of inner beauty translated into exterior   
   forms".
