I am looking forward to using her stamp when it comes out :)
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has announced that the Postmaster General will dedicate its new stamp honoring Mother Teresa on Sept. 5 at a ceremony at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Post Office looks forward to a “very dignified and successful” ceremony, a spokesman said.
In a May 10 phone call, Roy Betts, a community relations manager with the USPS Stamps department, talked with CNA about the dedication of the stamp.
Reporting that the ceremony will take place at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, he said that Postmaster General Jack Potter has been confirmed as the dedicating official.
However, nothing more had been planned to his knowledge and he did not know what Catholic officials were planning for the ceremony.
CNA asked about concerns about whether the stamp affects constitutional issues such as the separation of church and state.
Betts acknowledged there had been “a little activity, a little noise” about the issue when the stamp was first announced, but any controversy has since faded.
“In the past month or so, I've not received a single call or e-mail or anything about the concerns that others have raised,” he reported.
