Pope John Paul II visits St. Louis (Jan)
Archbishop Rigali, once a fixture in Rome, invited Pope John Paul II to St. Louis for a pastoral visit. The Pope, coming from Mexico City, has never visited St. Louis, a large American archdiocese. There is a youth rally at the Kiel Center and an enormous mass at the TWA dome. President and Mrs. Clinton and Vice President Gore also attend.
