Pope goes to head of African Church

VATICAN CITY (NC): Pope John Paul II will be pacing himself more slowly for his ten-day trip to six African countries that commences this Friday with his arrival in Zaire. He is expected to make only 50 speeches on his Africa voyage compared with more than 70 he delivered in his exhausting trip to Ireland and the United States last year. But he will be visiting at least two leprosaria, as well as ordaining bishops, and conferring baptism and confirmation to some o f the millions of Catholics who will meet him in Africa. In Kinshasa, Zaire, after he has met civil officials and attended the Bishops' confer ence, he will visit the La Rive leprosarium.

V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II asked the whole church to "evangelize, and pray" for vocations in his message marking the 1980 World Day of Prayer for Vocations, last Sunday. The pope divided his call into three parts, speaking first to priests, religious and "other consecrated persons," then to young people and finally to "sons and daughters of the whole world." He gave the first group the special task of evangelization through the witness of their lives. "The people of God when it prays for vocations, must know well why it is praying and for whom," Pope John Paul said.
