Wow, Arthur! About the only thing that note is not is blessed by the Pope!
How to Receive a Papal BlessingTo get a Benediction Papalis, visit your diocese's Chancery Office. They will have you fill out paperwork, answering
questions pertaining to the sort of blessing you want, what language you want the certificate to be written in, what
style of certificate you want, etc. They will need the full name of your priest, parish, town and country so there is
witness to the fact that you are, indeed, Catholic (you can just call the Chancery's office and they will send you the
papers).
The cost is around $40, the proceeds from which go to feed the poor. To be safe, allow 6 months to receive your
certificate if you're wanting it by a certain date
Beware: don't try to get a Papal Blessing through the internet or some mailing you might receive: scammers are out
there. Be sure to go through your diocese!
