Seoul, South Korea, Jan 21, 2008 / 10:41 am
The Archbishop of Sydney, Australia, Cardinal George Pell, was awarded with the "Grand Prix Mysterium Vitae" established by the Archdiocese of Seoul, South Korea.
The award is granted every year to "an international personality who stands out for their support for the cause of life."
The Archdiocese of Seoul said in a statement that one of the reasons why Cardinal Pell was selected for the award was his creation and support of an Australian campus for the John Paul II Institute for Life and the Family.
