Hello. My fiance and I are getting married in May (provided that the church is available) in the Catholic church. I am really wishing to have the Pope's blessing and was told that I could send an invitation to the him for this. Are you familiar with how I can do this?

Thank you and God Bless, Jen Vidonish

Hello.... why not try and write to him and ask for his blessing? I am sure that even you don't get a reply back that he will both include you on his prayers.

Pope John Paul II Apostolic Palace Vatican City State, Europe

Goodluck to both of you ! Anna

To all of you getting married in May, congratulations!

I would suggest you stop in the rectory of your church. I'm sure they can help you with this.

OR....I'm sure there is someone on the forum who will know how to go about getting the Papal Blessing.

Good luck to all of you!

OK, well try THIS one.

YOu will need to go through the Chancellerys office to get it. You will need to fill out paper work and pay a fee, then it will be submitted and then sent to you.

Here is a web site article regarding the papal blessings:
