Mary in Books, Films and Music Vatican Announces Creation of New Web Page Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, announced this morning the creation of a new Vatican home page that will serve as a "point of connection between several news production centers of the Holy See." The prelate made the announcement at a press conference during the presentation of the new high definition television unit of the Vatican Television Center. Archbishop Celli said that the new multi-media website would bring together several sources of Vatican news, such as the Vatican press office, L'Osservatore Romano newspaper, Vatican Radio, the Vatican Television Center and the Fides news service of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. Yet to be defined is the name of the page, as well as the timeframe for launching the new site. It is a need "much felt by the workers," said the archbishop, although he assured that the independence of each agency will always be maintained.

Official Closing of Tribunal Evening Prayer was held at Our Lady of the Pillar Parish in Saint Louis that marked the official closing of the Metropolitan Tribunal in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis investigating the cure of Rachel Baumgartner Lozano, a young Saint Louis woman. Rachel was cured of terminal cancer and she, her family, and friends, believe the cure was a miracle they prayed for through the intercession of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade. Now that the Tribunal is completed, the transcripts have been sent to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in Rome, which will study the documentation from a medical and a theological point of view. The director and editors of The Mary Page under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press.
