CWN Editor's Note: Archbishop Tomasz Peta of Astana, Kazakhstan, told Vatican News that a visit from Pope Francis will be “a great blessing for us Catholics and for the entire Kazakhstan.”
The Pope is due in Kazakhstan from September 13 to 15, to join in the 7th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions.
