bus which will be used was ordered three or four months ago I think Its a very ting our role as priests It will be a good pep talk I assume which Is needed now and then Father Dave Cote of Holy Cross Church said his parish has been thinking and praying about the Papal visit Arrangements have been made for two buses to take members of the parish to Downsview airport for the occasion Both buses are full and Father Cote said there are probably twice the number of people going to the mass by trans tatlon of their own means than here are on He also expressed a greater Interest in the Pope visit by parishio ners over the last few weeks I think it the visit Is t minx tne vis t is us reflect in peace and peace within ourselves The man goes beyond the Catholic faith he said Father will be es I
