This project also fits very well with our mission and with our history of service to the Church, and especially, the Successors of St. Peter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides the Bernini restoration, there are thousands of other causes that the Knights contribute to, including the Vicarius Christi<\/em> Fund, which supports the Pope's personal charities and which Pope Leo did not forget to mention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
