On sunday 28th June at 12.00 noon, the Legate of the Holy Father Benedict XVI, His Eminence Renato Raffaele Martino, president of the Pontifical Council Iustitia et Pax, celebrated the Holy Mass at Ayia kyriaki church in the city of Paphos, closing the St Paul's year. The Holy Mass was concelebrated by the Archbishop of the Maronites in Cyprus HE Mgr Youssef Soueif and many priests, with the participation of HE Georgos Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Bishop of Paphos and other Archimandrites, Anglican Pastors and Catholic Nuns and many faithfull from the orthodox, maronite, latin, arminien and anglican churchs living on the Island.
