Hundreds of Catholics are expected to gather at the Shrine of Schönstatt in Germany on April 2nd--the one-year anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II--to pray a multi-lingual rosary in memory of the beloved pontiff.

Members of the Schönstatt movement will be joined by hundreds of other Catholics at the shrine where the movement was born to pray in different languages for the Servant of God Pope John Paul II.

On the same night of April 2nd, thousands are expected to gather with Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter’s Square for a prayer vigil followed by a Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica on April 3rd.
