Christian culture Vatican City, Sept. 26— TTie Holy Father received 300 members of the Pope John Paul II Foundation in the Clementine Hall and said tihat Christian culture, which constitutes the roots of Europe, is the greatest gift of the old continent to the world. The Pope John Paul II Foundation was instituted in Rome ten years ago to foster Poland's Christian cultural patrimony. The institution is made up of three centers: the Polish Home, the Polish Institute of Christian Culture and the Documentation Center. The Polish Home offers pilgrims coming to Rome "spiritual help and puts them in contact with Christian tradition," affirmed the pope. "In these years it has welcomed more than 70,000 pilgrims from Poland and from other countries." "The Polish Institute of Christian Culture," added the Holy Father, organizes activities to "develop and maintain the Christian patrimony of Polish culture among all Polish people all over the world." To this scope die Documentation Center, with its libraries and archives, also gives its own contribution by "registering the events of previous years and by collecting both religious and national memories."

ARCHDIOCESE MX. OLIVET OF DENVER CEMETERY MORTUARY

tholic Cemeteries are set apart from other cemeteries, for they are part of the ministry of the Church, C hey minister to the deceased, the bereaved; indeed, the entire parish community, poor and rich alike. The Catholic Cemetery seeks to help people face the harsh reality of death in a context of faith, with its promise of eternal life. Our facilities and services include a place of funeralization and burial, an environment designed to meet the needs of the Catholic liturgy for burial, a facility that encourages frequent visitation with attendant prayer for the dead. Catholic Cemeteries provide an environment in which love is remembered, hope is rekindled, and faith is awakened, renewed and strengthened.
