VATICAN CITY, AUG 3, 2000 (VIS) - The prayer vigil in answer to the appeal by Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople will take place on Saturday, August 5 in the Basilica of St. John Lateran.
According to the Jubilee calendar, the prayer vigil was to have taken place in St. Mary Major, however because of the traditional August 5 celebrations being held there, the site of the event had to be changed.
The prayer vigil will begin at 6:30 p.m. and be presided by Cardinal Edward Idris Cassidy, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. The diocesan community of Rome has been invited to participate as have pilgrims, pastors and faithful from other Churches and ecclesial communities in the city.
