On Wednesday 14 April 2010 the Holy Father Benedict XVI granted a personal audience to Peter Solej - the NAPS founder. The personal audience took place at the St. Peter’s Square in Vatican in attendance of His Eminence the Most Reverend Despotis Ján Babjak, SJ, Archbishop of Prešov and Metropolitan of Greek Catholic Church in Slovakia.
During the audience His Holiness received a copy of the book “The Beauty of Enchantment in Metal” - to commemorate the three visits of the Holy Father John Paul II in Slovakia - with a set of silver medals with Nativity theme minted by the Kremnica Mint. Peter Solej informed the Head of the Catholic Church he had given in person the same medals to His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople, the spiritual leader of Orthodox Church worldwide.
On the day of his 23rd birthday, Peter Solej informed the Pope about six International Ecumenical Concerts, organized by NAPS Institute, attended by all major Christian Churches and Jewish Religious Community, and at the same time he presented into the hands of the Highest Pontiff a letter asking for the Apostolic Blessing for these concerts - with the objective to bring people together, deepen inter-religious dialogue and encourage mutual tolerance.
The Pontiff thanked Peter Solej for his presents and activities and granted His Apostolic Blessing.
