Pope John Paul II celebrates a beatification mass 22 August in Paris at Notre Dame cathedral. About 300 bishops from all over the world, together with an estimated 2,500 worshippers crowded into the cathedral, where the pontiff was to celebrate mass for the first time. Thousands of others gathered on Notre Dame square as the cathedral bells tolled ahead of the ceremony at which Frederic Ozanam, a 19th-century French Catholic, was to be beatified -- the last step towards canonisation or sainthood.
