Canadian Province of Ontario dedicates April 2 to John Paul II

April 02,2014: - Canada has dedicated a day to Bl. John Paul II, who will be canonised later this month in Rome, together with Pope John XXIII. The legislature of the Canadian province of Ontario voted unanimously in favour of a bill establishing April 2 of each year as the day of John Paul II. April 2 is the day the Polish pontiff died. The parliamentary initiative is due to Dipika Damerla, member of the liberal constituency of Mississauga East-Cooksville, Canada. The law that was passed on March 17, came into force a week ago.
