"Our parish has always been like a big family," Loretta Niestroy said. People there held a special mass Wednesday evening in honor of Pope John Paul II. "The mass itself will be for health and welfare for the pope as all Catholics pray for certain intentions," Niestroy said. Thursday marked the 25th anniversary of his election. In 1978, Pope John Paul II became the first pope chosen from Poland. So, people in Panna Maria feel a special bond with him. "This one is just very special. And the last 25 years he's been there," Niestroy said. "And it's not just the Polish people. I think most Catholics relate to him this way." Choir members from around Karnes County voiced their blessings in song, and others prayed for the Pope's health and welfare. Many parishioners remember the pope's visit to San Anotnio -- a memory they will never forget. "To be able to see this holy person this close -- it was really wonderful, a wonderful feeling," Rosalie Kotara said. The pope gave some special gifts to the people of Panna Maria during his trip: A gold chalice engraved with his insignia that's used for communion and three hand-carved chairs that were used during his mass. Thirty priests from across Texas attended Wednesday night's special mass.
