Monsenior Jean Claude PERISSET, Ambassador of the State of Vatican in Romania, and was launched on the 29th of June within the ROMANIAN ATHENEUM, Bucharest. Firstly it is an initiative that aims at a worldwide promotion of the spiritual message of unification for Europe, as it was delivered by Pope John Paul II, and also his Spiritual Testament, both between the Christians in Romania and worldwide.
The two churches in brotherhood could therefore have a unique opportunity to deepen love between peers and feed it into an integrative and unifying approach for the whole Europe.
TOTUS TUUS International Project includes the launch and worldwide dissemination of the album released by GHEORGHE ZAMFIR and the organist NICOLAE LICARET, Director of George Enescu Philharmonics and cellist ALEXANDRU MOROSANU; this is part of a number of concerts in the biggest cathedrals over the world. The album was edited in a luxury package, which includes a biography of His Sanctity POPE JOHN PAUL II and a presentation of the highly spiritual meetings held between the Pope and GHEORGHE ZAMFIR.
This non-profit project (participation was exclusively invitation-based, no ticket sale) and was supported by the Roman-Catholic Archbishopric, The European Federation of UNESCO Centers and Clubs and UNESCO National Commission..
