It’s been nearly a decade since Donald Jackson embarked on the calligrapher’s Sistine Chapel: the handwritten, illuminated Saint John’s Bible. Now, through the Heritage Program, individuals and artistic, religious and cultural institutions can experience and share the only full size, limited edition, signed and numbered reproductions of this extraordinary manuscript.

Sharing The Saint John’s Bible Worldwide
In April 2008, Saint John’s University and Abbey will present a fine art reproduction of The Saint John’s Bible to Pope Benedict XVI, Archbishop Harry Flynn (St. Paul, Minn.) and John Carroll University (Cleveland, Ohio).

• On Friday, April 4, the St. Peter Apostles Edition of The Saint John’s Bible will be presented to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, by the Papal Foundation through the generosity of the Gerald and Henrietta Rauenhorst Foundation.
• On Saturday, April 12, the Prophets Edition of The Saint John’s Bible will be presented to John Carroll University from Saint John’s University. The gift is made possible through a donation by Target in honor of John Pellegrene, a retired Target executive and member of John Carroll’s class of 1958, and a long-time supporter of The Saint John’s Bible.
• On Thursday, April 24, the Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible will be presented to Archbishop Harry Flynn, from Saint John’s University and Abbey. The presentation will take place as part of a ceremony at 10:30 a.m. at the Cathedral of Saint Paul. The gift was made possible through the generosity of the Eugene and Mary Frey Family Foundation.
