Aid to the Church in Need, the charity, has presented the Pope with a commemorative book containing the names of supporters who pledged the equivalent of more than six months of prayer for the Holy Father, writes John Newton.
Graham Hutton, a trustee of the charity, made the presentation to Pope Benedict XVI during an audience at the Apostolic Nunciature in Wimbledon on Friday September 17.
The book contained the names of 7,224 benefactors who had promised to pray for the Holy Father in the run-up to his visit to England and Scotland.
