A Papal Blessing is a very meaningful way to commemorate a very special occasion in yours of your loved one’s life. While the blessing itself is invisible to the eye, it can be memorialized in a unique parchment certificate inscribed with the name(s) of the recipients, featuring the papal seal and the current Pope’s photo.
Parishioners may order a Papal blessing scroll to commemorate a milestone wedding anniversary or birthday, as well as the reception of the sacrament of  baptism, first communion, confirmation, marriage and religious ordination and profession. A Papal Blessing can only be issued to a practicing baptised Catholic and a member of a Pastor’s own parish.
All orders are processed through the Office of Papal Charities at the Vatican.
