LOTKA News The Ladies Auxiliary filled plastic eggs with candy at our last meeting for the Annual Easter Egg Hunt. In spite of the rainy weather, the children who came en-joyed “finding” the eggs that were spread throughout the main hall, meeting the Easter Bunny (thanks, Ray Kitchen), and eating “Pink Bunny Cake” and Rice Krispie treats (thanks to Lana Moon & Maryann Lambe). Since Carole had to work, Bill Dewey came to help us get ready and Linda Clark was there to help me with the party. We will have the egg hunt the Saturday of the week prior to Easter next year so that more children might be able to attend. Our next meeting will be on Thursday, May 1st at 7pm. Carole Dewey is planning a craft for us to make either to give away for Mother’s Day or treat ourselves for a change !!! Any questions, call me at 757-587-7796. Laura Reese

Canonization of Popes John Paul II and John XXIII
Rome (CNN) -- John XXIII and John Paul II were canonized Sunday by Pope Francis in an unprecedented cere-mony witnessed by huge crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City. Millions more around the world watched as two former pontiffs were for the first time installed as saints in a dual canonization. The faithful and the curious packed the streets of Rome around the Vatican before dawn, hoping to gain entry to St. Peter's Square and catch a direct glimpse of church history in the making. Vatican Radio put the crowds at some 800,000 in the St. Peter's area, including the square and the roads and gardens around it. Another 500,000 fol-lowed the proceedings on giant screens set up around Rome, according to estimates based on police aerial shots. In another first on a historic day, two living popes were present for the ceremony. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who resigned from the papacy a year ago citing health reasons, was not at the altar but was greeted warmly by Francis both before and after the event. Many of those gathered in the square for the solemn open-air ceremony carried flags and banners. The red and white Polish flag was prominent among them, a reflection of the affection felt for John Paul II in his homeland, Poland. Another read simply, "Thank you." With the canonization, a holy relic for each of the popes was formally presented to the altar before the crowds. Giant banners showing the faces of the two late popes hung on the facade of St. Peter's Basilica. In his homily, Francis described the pair as "men of courage" who bore witness to God's mercy. "They were priests, bishops and popes of the 20th century," he said. "They lived through the tragic events of that century, but they were not overwhelmed by them. For them, God was more powerful, faith was more powerful." He paid tribute to the efforts of John XXIII and John Paul II to renew and strengthen the church. The landmark Second Vatican Council called by John XXIII was of great service to the church, he said. That council helped to bring the church to the people, for example by allowing languages other than Latin to be used for Mass. John Paul II, who served for nearly 27 years, is seen as the "pope of the family" and wanted to be remembered that way, Francis added. The two popes canonized are: John XXIII (1881-1963) -- known as Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli before he became pope -- was one of 13 children born into a family of Italian peasants, farmers from a tiny village in the country's north. He was sent away to study for the priesthood at age 11. John Paul II (1920-2005), born Karol Jozef Wojtyla, was brought up in a grimy industrial town in Poland and raised by his soldier father after his mother died when he was just 8 years old. He spent his formative years living under first Nazis, then Communists. His beatification is the quickest in modern times, made possible because Benedict -- who succeeded John Paul in 2005 -- waived the normal five-year waiting period after death to get someone's beatification rolling.
