They have now confirmed they have dispatched this package for direct delivery to Rome.
Ireland’s Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Luis Mariano Montemayor and An Post Postperson, Mark O’Neill make ready a package of almost 4,000 Mass cards from Irish people sympathising on the death of Pope Francis for direct delivery to the Vatican in Rome.
It's been confirmed the mass cards have been dispatched and are on the way to the Vatican to sympathise on the death of Pope Francis.
Ireland’s Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Luis Mariano Montemayor said: “To post a card is very often to post a thought, a feeling, a part of ourselves. That is what I see in this beautiful initiative, They are more than a gesture of remembrance, they are a sign of attachment to a person who had a special place in many Irish hearts. They carry with them your prayers for Pope Francis, but they carry, too, your love and appreciation of what he meant in your lives. May God bless all those who have participated!”
An An Post spokesperson said: “We have been in touch with our counterparts in the Vatican Post Office so they will be expecting this package from Ireland."
