Luanda — The Catholic Church presented officially on Monday, in Luanda, a book with 83 pages and a DVD with speeches and images of Bento XVI's visit to Angola, that took place in March this year.
During the ceremony, Angola's papal ambassador, Dom Âgelo Becciu, said that the release of the book and DVD happens at an important time for the Catholic Church, for coinciding with the celebrations of Saint Peter's and Saint Paul's Solemnity, known traditionally as Pope's Party, marked on Monday.
Dom Ângelo Becciu stated that the Holy Father's visit to Angola will be "indelible", due to his charisma and kindness that touched the hearts of Angolan christians.
The work is available countrywide at the price of 450 kwanzas (USD 1 is equal to 82 kwanzas) and Akz 2,200 for the book and DVD.
An initiative of Irmães Paulinas, the book has an initial 10, 000 copies edition and was produced by "Edições Angola".
